Licensing issues #29

Open fips999 opened 10 years ago

Can't seem to file issues for forks, but some like https://github.com/chemzqm/xlsx.js claim that the license is MIT. It's not obvious that your license is compatible with MIT. Can you release under MIT license?

An excellent observation and question. I second both.

@dgbutterworth FWIW i ended up going with https://github.com/SheetJS/js-xlsx, which is Apache2 licensed and better serves my needs
