License choise and compatibility with the GNU GPL #2

Closed M4xi1m3 closed 3 years ago

The BSD 4-clauses seems like it's not really a good license for this kind of repository, since the whole purpose of the external app system in the beginning was to avoid licensing problems with software using the GNU GPL.

Since this license is incompatible with the GNU GPL, I would suggest to change it for a BSD 3-clauses, which is compatible with said GNU GPL. An even better license would be a MIT license, since it's better suited for thins kind of boilerplate repositories (or even public domain, but I don't think this is ever going to happen).

This repository is now licensed under a "new" BSD license 😄
