LICENSE #67

Closed jromani-ds closed 2 years ago

jromani-ds commented 3 years ago

The repository is missing a LICENSE, propose to add MIT license consistent with the ossu/computer-science repository.

uRSTEnzY commented 3 years ago

I agree with this issue. I'm not sure who makes the decision regarding which license to choose though.

cactail commented 3 years ago

Reminder to address this issue. MIT license is a good call but not sure if it's the best for this kind of resources.

@waciumawanjohi Are you the one responsible for making OSSU licensing decisions?

waciumawanjohi commented 2 years ago

It is true that some of the other repos list the MIT license. I don't think it's the right license for this repo as the license is written for code and this repo does not host code.

I believe the Creative-Commons licenses are the most appropriate. This aligns with research from the IEEE, which offered the course Foundations to Open Education and OERs Repositories. While that course is no longer online (to my frustration) some of the thrust of that course can be found in this article. In the course and in the article references to licenses are always to creative-commons licenses rather than to software licenses (MIT, Apache, BSD, etc).

@waciumawanjohi, based on your comments maybe the "Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0" is the best option available from github.

It would allow for adaptions of this work to be shared as long as others share alike, which I think is in the spirit of the OSSU project.

I'm happy to add this license

@waciumawanjohi great. That is the exact license I was thinking of
