Hi,

I was wondering how this project is licensed? I'm looking to see if I could use it and bundle it with my own side project I'm working on, so the user (probably just me) doesn't need to install it separately.

Thanks, James

EDIT: To maybe start answering my own question. The credited source for this project is https://github.com/jontaylor/DDC-CI-Tools-for-OS-X which is under a GPL 3.0 licence. Presumably this project would inherit that same licence.

IANAL but that is my interpretation of the situation as well

kfix commented 3 years ago

the Obj-C part of the program derived from "DDC Panel" from the forums was licensed thusly:

//  AppDelegate.m
//  DDC Panel
//
//  Created by PHPdev32 on 2/19/13.
//  Licensed under GPLv3, full text at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt
//

I'll add a LICENSE file to that effect for the whole thing, although its a bit muddy since there have been a few contribs in between.

Hi there, could you clarify whether the license that applies is GPL-3.0-or-later, or GPL-3.0-only? GPL-3.0 is a deprecated license identifier. See https://spdx.org/licenses/.
