JBodera commented 5 years ago

During the PMC 29/01/2019 and within WP4 @jamhall discussed what licensing to use for all the different software that will be produced.

Ideally the software licenses must be harmonised, so we do not have problems with incompatible licenses @fangohr asked what the proposal said about licenses

It was also said that Jupyter uses MIT-BSD license

Just for reference, the proposal says in section 2.2.a.3 Open Source Software the following: All software developed in the course of the project will be under version control in an open source repository (such as GitHub) and licensed under a license compliant with the Open Source Initiative (OSI, www.opensource.org). The software will thus be Findable and Accessible and because it also will be developed with Inter-operability and Reuability in mind, the software will be FAIR in its own right. All public deliverables will be made available and accessible from the project’s website.

It is encouraged that WP leaders inform the Project Management Committee of the software license chosen for new developments.
