Question - Am I OK to use your code? #162

Closed daPhipz closed 4 years ago

This may sound like a silly question, but I don't want to be rude and just blindly copy everything you did without asking ;)

I want to create a similar list of projects, but with projects that need localization - I called it LocalizeIt :wink: My goal is to (eventually) provide a source for people who want to contribute to Open Source, but know very little to nothing about how to code.

A while back, I contributed to this project here and remembered how you created the list with the help of that projects.yaml file. It would greatly help LocalizeIt, if I was allowed to include that mechanic into my project. Of course, I would credit you guys at appropriate places! :heart_eyes: Thanks for your consideration!

Yes, by all means! Sounds like a great effort. The list is generated by a parallel project called apatite: https://github.com/mahmoud/apatite

It's designed to be used from the command line, so you need a little proficiency to use it. But once you've got it installed (pip install --user apatite) it's just apatite render to make a README.md from a projects.yaml. Hope this helps!

Nice, thank you so so much! Don't worry, as a Linux user, I know my way around the command line ;) I will credit your work appropriately, of course!

By the way, I noticed that you don't have a LICENSE file in your repo - you may want to add one to clarify questions like mine ;)

mahmoud commented 4 years ago

Oh, good point. GPLv3 is specified in the setup.py, but I added a LICENSE.txt, hope that helps. Always remember, if the license in the repo doesn't work for your case, nothing stops you from asking for a different one. :)
