Use MIT for en_GB? #8

Closed vogella closed 10 years ago

vogella commented 10 years ago

Please feel free to close but it would be nice to use MIT for en_GB also. I'm an Eclipse committer and plan to work on our spell check engine. Using MIT code in Eclipse is easily possible while LGPL usually make the discussion harder.

Please close as invalidate if you prefer your current license. As the others use MIT I think it would also be more consistent.

Hello!

I don't know much about licences... when I grabbed the en_GB it was LGPL, so I kept it the way it was.

Currently the speller grew up to 4000+ words since I embraced it... as you can see in the .txt at GitHub with the daily changes.

What is the ongoing discussion about? :p

When I translated OpenSlides they sent me an e-mail asking if I would agree with their licence, and I replied: "I did it for fun, use it freely".

Sorry if I can't understand the licence thing.

Kind regards,

Marco A.G.Pinto

Thanks, IMHO if the base was LGPL you cannot change it anymore.
