Hi,

The OpenStreetCam is said to be open-source in several places, but I can't find a reliable reference for this. Can you add a LICENCE file to this repo to make it clearer (like what's done for the iOS app for example: https://github.com/openstreetcam/ios/blob/master/LICENSE).

Thanks,

Hi @moy, you're right, this should be clearer. Will add the same licence file here.

moy commented 7 years ago

Thanks. I'm writing an article on OpenStreetCam that I'd like to publish ASAP, so it would be cool if you could add the file before I publish it, so I can link directly to the license file.

Hi @moy, Just added the license file, you can go ahead and publish. Thanks, Kalman

@moy: You may want to check also about the licenses of the binary apps. As I understand from earlier discussion about this being on f-droid (https://github.com/openstreetcam/android/issues/8), there are proprietary libraries and thus the apk is not Free Software. And of course, nothing obtained from Apple's iOS store is Free Software; at best it was Free on the way in -- but that's not about openstreetcam.

The article is here: https://linuxfr.org/redaction/news/cartographie-et-images-de-rues-mapillary-et-openstreetcam

But 1) French-only, 2) you need a Linuxfr account to see the draft (it's free), and 3) the URL will change when I submit the news (it will be public afterwards).

Thank you.
