Hey,

First, thanks for your job ! what a great Job, your code is clean, clear and easy to read ! Not really an issue but I'm wondering if you allow to reuse your code on other projects ?


Here is the context:

I'm writing a mobile application (android first) to manage my runner 3 watch over bluetooth.

I found I could re-use your code to easily add some features like:

(by the way I had to modify https://github.com/scubajorgen/TomTomWatch/blob/a593a1c3e8b74f9975458fd517d2577177bbd94a/src/main/java/net/studioblueplanet/tomtomwatch/GpxReader.java#L153 with │+ (nNode.getNodeName().equals("trkpt"))) )

I was wondering myself what license I could use in respect with ttwatch, ttblue and TomTomWatch. This site might give a quick overview:https://choosealicense.com/

But I can't publish my project without your agreement (for a plugin using your code at least) and hope you can choose a license that clarify this point.


Thanks for reading, BR,

sbouth

Thanx for the feedback and info on licensing.

First of all I am a firm believer of the slogan 'Software is like sex: it's better when it's free'. Therefor this is my contribution to the community. Use it any way you like, but read the disclaimer (uhm, do I actually have a disclaimer?). I would appreciate if you buy me a beer if you're going to make scandalous and tremendous amounts of money with your app, using my code I would appreciate if you publish improvements, like you do above :-)

I am not going to sue you if you don't buy me a beer if you make tremendous amounts of money or you keep your sources closed, since I don't want to waste energy on negativity.

I guess GNU gplv3 would fit this the best, but I do not really care.

OK thanks ! (My plan is to make my code free and open source)
