Licensing clarity #30

Open hollingsworthd2 opened 11 years ago

hollingsworthd2 commented 11 years ago

Instead of "Pick whichever license you choose, as long as it is OSI approved," IANAL but I would prefer it to say, "SilkJS is licensed separately under each OSI approved license."

BTW awesome project, thanks!

Yes, please pick some license. I (no lawyer either) think you (SilkJS author) get your intended result but with much more clarity if you just pick the MIT license as many current Open Source projects do. If the MIT is not what you intend, please clarify what you mean instead.

Alternatively, perhaps consider just explicitly releasing it into the public domain using CC0 or the Unlicense, which would seem to match the intent of the project's current licensing approach.

Well, you are also free to release your code under multiple licenses ( Multi-licensing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-licensing), it is then up to the user to choose which version to use.
