Open source license? #27

Closed alchemicalhydra closed 7 years ago

alchemicalhydra commented 9 years ago

Is CloudFusion open source?

There's no mention in the README.rst, nor a LICENSE / COPYING file, and I see this in the setup.py classifiers:

        "License :: Other/Proprietary License",

(And FWIW, this seems to be the case for most of your other projects on GItHub, e.g., mangafuse.)

You may use CloudFusion under the GNU GPL. If you need another license, please let me know. I'm not charging anything, but if CloudFusion gets to be part of another (commercial) software I would be interested what project it is used in.

Glad to hear it's open source!

If you prefer the GNU GPL, it would be really helpful to add a GPL COPYING file (of whichever version of the GPL you choose) along with updating the setup.py with whatever classifier matches that version.

Here's links to the GPL v2 and GPL v3 that you can drop in as COPYING.

Here's the various GNU license classifiers:

License :: OSI Approved :: GNU Affero General Public License v3
License :: OSI Approved :: GNU Affero General Public License v3 or later (AGPLv3+)
License :: OSI Approved :: GNU Free Documentation License (FDL)
License :: OSI Approved :: GNU General Public License (GPL)
License :: OSI Approved :: GNU General Public License v2 (GPLv2)
License :: OSI Approved :: GNU General Public License v2 or later (GPLv2+)
License :: OSI Approved :: GNU General Public License v3 (GPLv3)
License :: OSI Approved :: GNU General Public License v3 or later (GPLv3+)
License :: OSI Approved :: GNU Lesser General Public License v2 (LGPLv2)
License :: OSI Approved :: GNU Lesser General Public License v2 or later (LGPLv2+)
License :: OSI Approved :: GNU Lesser General Public License v3 (LGPLv3)
License :: OSI Approved :: GNU Lesser General Public License v3 or later (LGPLv3+)
License :: OSI Approved :: GNU Library or Lesser General Public License (LGPL)

You may also want to mention the license in your README.rst, e.g., for GPL v2 or later:
