[IDEA] Add a license to the repository #331

Closed Panquesito7 closed 2 years ago

Panquesito7 commented 2 years ago

Description

We should add a license to this repository. This way, people will know what and what not they can do with this repository, permissions, notices, etc.. I suggest adding the MIT license.

image The README already mentions the license, but you're right, it might be a good idea to add a LICENSE file as well.

dom96 commented 2 years ago

Feel free to make a PR to add it, but for now the license is in the readme.

Panquesito7 commented 1 year ago

Question: so the design is licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0, and the code? 🤔

pietroppeter commented 1 year ago

Actually from the readme I would say that, apart from the design m, everything else (unless explicitly mentioned, but I do not see other mentions) is under Creative Commons (which includes the code).

Panquesito7 commented 1 year ago

Not a very good idea to use CC licenses for code, but well. I guess I'll create a PR to add the LICENSE file with that.

Thanks.

Mmh, indeed we usually use MIT for code. We probably could change it?
