Many enterprise applications require any open source code to be licensed in order to qualify for inclusion. Attaching one of these licenses will ensure that any potential contributors/users of this software can do so without legal concern.
+1, just wondered. jQuery is licensed under MIT, so I first assumend this was MIT-licensed as well, but since you didn't specify... Well, my project is GPLed, so there shouldn't be any problem. Still, it would be nice to have it on "paper".
Same goes for jquery.event.move, btw.
I don't agree with the whole licensing thing. I think we should be allowed to publish what we want, unlicensed. However, the jquery plugins site requires a license before you can publish plugins to it, so jquery.event.swipe does now have a reference to a license specified in the package.json.

I have! It's listed in package.json. On 8 Feb 2013 12:51, "Tom Wallroth" notifications@github.com wrote:

Ah, I see, you have done so for jquery.event.move... Would you be so kind to add it also to jquery.event.swipe?
+1 on this. I'm in this camp:

I can't use software without a license that I can point to when the lawyers call.

Wondering if you plan on attaching a MIT or GPL license to this?
Thanks
