Add a License to your VS Code Extension #3

Open spoenemann opened 3 years ago

spoenemann commented 3 years ago

Thank you for being part of the Open VSX community by adding your extensions to the Open VSX Registry. Please note that the service was recently transferred to the Eclipse Foundation and urgent action on your part is needed so we can continue to list your extensions. To ensure uninterrupted service, please add a license to your extension and upload a new version as early as possible before January 15, 2021. To include a license with the extension, add a license field with the license identifier in the package.json and add a LICENSE file with the full license text. If you are unsure which license to choose, check the list of OSI-approved licenses.

Regrettably if this is not done by that date, extension versions that have no license will be deleted. Of course you can publish them again with a license at a later date.

Please note, the latest version of the ovsx tool offers to add the MIT license when you try to publish without a license.

A reminder that all extension publishers MUST sign the Eclipse Publisher Agreement.

@madeindjs As the project maintainer, we also recommend you to claim the namespace for your extension(s). To find out how to do this, see: https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/wiki/Namespace-Access
