Missing license #5

Closed thibault closed 11 years ago

Hi,

What is the license of this code?

Without any license, it's not really usable, is it?

Thanks.

Hi Thibault,

thanks for pointing this out, just committed the license statement.

Cheers, Marco

Hi @marcuz,

Thank you for the quick reply. The missing license was bothering me, because I'm actually writing a tiny app to embed your awesome Nexmo library in Django projects.

However, the fact that your license is the GPL makes it hard to embed it in my code, or any professional project, because it would require the whole project to switch to the GPL.

I was planning to distribute my lib under a BSD license, because I don't want to prevent closed-sources professional projets to use it, and this is the license recommended by the Django team. As far as I understand, I cannot reuse GPL code in a BSD distributed library.

Do you really want to keep the GPL, or would you consider switching to BSD?

Regards.

It's a legit request, lemme go through the license, but I think it won't be a problem to switch to BSD.

You should be good to go now. :)
