Software license? #2

Hey Nathan. I just started using your timezone picker in my app and it's working great. However, I noticed that there is no software license specified anywhere in the github source repo, so it's not clear what the terms of use are for this code. (timezonepicker.com says it's a "free use combination library".)

Can I use and redistribute this code freely with my application? Better yet, can you add license text to the repo? I see that the MapHilight jQuery plugin that you use is distributed under an MIT license, for example.

Thanks.

Hi Eric!

Thanks for contacting me. You're right the license is missing. I've been dillydallying over which one I would like to use. I'm primarily a Drupal developer, which uses GPLv2, but I think I'm likely to go with MIT like you suggest. As you can relicense MIT as GPL when you need it, I think it's the right decision.

I'm at a conference now, but I'll try to put up a license when I get a chance. For now I think it is safe for you to assume an MIT license and you're definitely welcome to redistribute the code in your own application. Cheers,

-Nate

I'm using it under MIT for now, but I just wanted to follow up to ask if you could update the repo.

Hi there!

This looks like a great project, and I'd like to use it. Has there been any progress in setting up a license for it?

Best

Hi there,

I have sent you an email related to this issue. I have used this library in one of my projects, but cannot go forward with it without some sort of licensing. Has this had any progress recently?

I merged in @bryanagee's PR, specifying MIT as the license of this project. Thanks! https://github.com/quicksketch/timezonepicker/pull/9
