I can't see a license file?

I think WTFPL will do the trick. On Jul 17, 2014 11:12 AM, "Alec Clews" notifications@github.com wrote:

Lol. Or use MIT or CC3.0-BY-SA

I'm flying in minutes so @garrows can you add something appropriate.

Also @garrows can you add CC3.0-BY-SA to the SimpleBot repo?

@ajfisher to be honest I think that the Creative Commons license is a bit restrictive because you cant relicense your derived work.

I like the MIT license because it's less restrictive. In seriousness, I like the crudely named WTFPL because its most permissive.

For easy to read info on the licenses check out https://tldrlegal.com/

What do you think?

alchemycs commented 10 years ago

The WTFPL license kind of goes against the spirit of the code of conduct doesn't it? I wouldn't want my son going to anything with a "What The F***" in their licensing!

garrows commented 10 years ago

@alchemycs you have a very good point. @ajfisher what about the MIT license?

alchemycs commented 10 years ago

Sorry, I dropped a sentence in my previous comment...

You should think about editing it so it isn't so crude and is family inclusive.

I'm not sure about the merits of having a copyright in something that is so simple as this, and is meant to be shared. I'll ask one of the partners at my work (a lawyer) tomorrow (I work in Governance, Risk and Compliance)

Given all of that. I'd be inclined to go with MIT or for this one simply Public Domain maybe.

My Strong suggestion would be NOT public domain.

MIT, GNU or Apache in no particular order would be my picks.
