MIT / Apache / BSD ?

This is an Open Source Project for us AND the community and we need to be as liberal as possible with License.

@gaurav21r Choose MIT Licence.

Because most top github project prefer MIT Licence like:

https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/master/LICENSE https://github.com/impress/impress.js/blob/master/LICENSE https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/LICENSE https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/LICENSE https://github.com/feross/standard/blob/master/LICENSE

@riteshe63 Yes MIT Looks best, but I want to see the License chosen for Open Source Projects with Enterpise Consulting. As well as parts of the system which can be expanded Closed Source. Apache is popular with Google.

I'll see Android / Chrome, Loopback, Dojo 2.0 etc and arrive at a decision.

gaurav21r commented 8 years ago

I think the Apache License looks best. Since our organisation @rcorp is involved, I've seen consultants and large technology companies using this license.

From http://choosealicense.com/licenses/ The following points are additional in Apache as compared to MIT:

Remember we are saying THIS project is Apache Licensed. We are not recommending projects that USE this structure should have this License. We are only saying Projects that fork & modify this code (and maybe contribute back) should follow this License.
