Add license #25

License should be AGPLv3, I think (also need to check copyright holder and add previous contributors' licenses)

Also need to acknowledge use of Mapquest geocoding API and OpenStreetMap data somewhere, like this: http://developer.mapquest.com/web/products/open/nominatim

Could we add this to the About page?

yohanboniface commented 10 years ago

Humm, there are two things: licence of the code, and I think this can just be in the repo itself, and licence of the content, which should be close to the data (project data for sure, but also map data: hence the "attribution" block on the map for example).

@markbrough is the geocoding used for geocode locations? If yes, I may add this on the attribution block on the map, what do you think?

markbrough commented 10 years ago

@yohanboniface yup I used the MapQuest API to geocode locations. I think it's fine to add it onto the attribution block as long as it doesn't make it too cluttered? Otherwise, I'd add it onto the mode d'emploi page.

Agree the code license can just be in the repo!

@yohanboniface pinging on this :-)
