Howdy!

I work on a project called FitsMap that also displays astronomical images using leaflet. I came across the legacy viewer and thought the CSS image filters were a great tool to have available. I am working on my own implementation in my code base inspired by what you have done here, but noticed you don't have a license for the code. I want to acknowledge the source of the inspiration in my codebase.

Would you mind telling me what license the code is under?

Thanks!

Ryan

I also have this question, we would like to re-use some code for an upcoming Simons Observatory project.

@dstndstn any objections to licensing this with the BSD 3-clause license like other DESI code? I see that you released Tractor under GPL but that causes headaches for LBL/UC lawyers, so BSD would be highly preferred (like legacypipe) if possible.

Yes, try https://www.legacysurvey.org/acknowledgment/

That's just Big Berkeley trying to sell more Berkeley

Apologies to @ryanhausen and @JBorrow for not noticing/responding to this last year!!

I just added the 3-clause BSD LICENSE file.
