Why not make this open source #295

Why not just make this an open source tool like axe? It is presently being treated like that, but not under the MIT or GPL which is the default.

gsherwood commented 3 years ago

It is, and always has been, an open source project. It's released under the BSD 3-clause licence: https://github.com/squizlabs/HTML_CodeSniffer/blob/master/licence.txt

Thanks. How did I miss that? I think I expected to see a LICENSE.txt file in https://github.com/squizlabs/HTML_CodeSniffer
