Change license to MIT #8

Closed nerdoc closed 5 years ago

nerdoc commented 5 years ago

I decided to change the license from LGPL to a more "permissive" one like MIT. The "original" license of the php pendant is Apache 2.0 license. A user asked me if he can use it in a commercial project. MIT helps to spread it more. People that are willing to give something back by creating a PR do that anyways. People who use software illegally do it anyways, even if restrictive, proprietary licenses forbid that.

With this change I hope more people can use this software.

@mohan3d and @bloodywing, are you ok with that license change? - you have (small, but important) changes in this software.

mohan3d commented 5 years ago

I will be happy with this.

bloodywing commented 5 years ago

Sure, no problem for me.

nerdoc commented 5 years ago

Thanks, done.

Exactly, I had done this 5 days before - and would have reverted it if anyone had a complain. Sorry to have been a bit fast... ;-) https://github.com/nerdocs/pydifact/commit/8dd72dbb3edd76e9472bcb11839924946af0ba6c
