Hi, I create a ArchLinux AUR package for this project. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/openambit/

My question now is, under which licence run this project? MIT, GNU, ...

Regards Thomas

Mostly GPLv3+. There are COPYING files in src/libambit/ and src/openambit/. The code in src/movescount/ used to live below src/openambit/ but didn't get a copy of the license when it was moved.

The only part that is possibly not GPLv3+ is below wireshark_dissector/ which has a COPYING file that contains a BSD-style license.

Ok, in the meantime I set the standard licence of the package (Arch Linux) to BSD and it were good when you put a central licence file in the root with the different licence types of the sub objects of this project.

Uhm, I guess I should have mentioned that the wireshark_dissector/ is not built by default and really only a developer oriented Wireshark plugin for protocol reverse engineering purposes. It is not needed for the day-to-day use of the openambit GUI. With that in mind, I think that GPLv3+ makes a better choice for the standard license.

Ok, I will change it to the GPLv3+ license.
