What license does fast-member fall under #65

Closed SFoster84 closed 5 years ago

SFoster84 commented 5 years ago

Hello,

Thanks for providing the great library. Can you specify a license for it?

Thanks!

@SFoster84 It's an unconventional way to do it, and not explicit, but you can see that the Nuget package is licensed under Apache 2.0: https://github.com/mgravell/fast-member/blob/master/FastMember/FastMember.csproj

works for me, thanks!

I need to make it more obvious, but Apache 2 ( https://github.com/mgravell/fast-member/blob/master/FastMember/FastMember.csproj ).

Frankly, most of my OSS libs are essentially licensed under the "go, have fun, do things - whatever things, just don't sue me and don't claim you own the tool" license, but I don't have a name for that :)

:-) Cool, yeah, it's kind of a hassle to have to select/specify a license when you just want to provide some nice functionality for other developers; a nice formal one like MIT, Apache 2, etc are easier to bring to the company lawyer though ;-)

Maybe github could specify a default license you opt out of during the project creation, though I guess it's the same issue of them not wanting to take the liability of selecting for you.

Perhaps create a LICENSE file in the repository root to match contents of link (http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) in the project file? That way it will also show up in the github interface.

license added to project root, thanks
