Please state what license this code is released under. I'm not allowed to use anything in my current project that doesn't have a sufficiently permissive license explicitly stated.

http://opensource.org/licenses

The MIT license is a common option, but whatever you pick please clearly state it in the readme file or add a new file to the project called LICENSE containing the text of the license in it.

Under current copyright law, if no license is stated, it is copyrighted.

Thanks :)

+1! Licenses are essential to open source code. I'd love to use this library, but without a license I have to assume that you want to keep it to yourself :(

There's a file header in clamp.js and clamp.min.js saying Released under the WTFPL license.

Hope this helps! Michel

Ah, that brilliant! I hadn't even thought to check the code... :-1: :sob:

I've sent you a pull request that puts the license in the readme file to help the rest of us who can't read :wink:

Thanks!

@josephschmitt - Would you be open to adding a MIT license to your project? It could be as an option with WTFPL (or the only license choice).

The reason I ask is b/c unfortunately, WTFPL is on the banned list at my company because of the question re: whether it is even a valid license. Having a permissive license would be very helpful because then I could get the +1 to use your work!

Any help is greatly appreciated!
