Concerns About Project License #6

Closed lukadd16 closed 3 years ago

lukadd16 commented 3 years ago

This project's license has a "YOUR NAME" field in it rather than an actual name, which tells me that the license was just an afterthought rather than viewed as a requirement. Either that or you were hesitant to put your legal name in.

If the latter is true, then I'll have you know that putting down your legal name in a software license isn't a requirement. A pseudonym (i.e. your GitHub username QuaKe8782) is sufficient enough, so long as you are aware that in a court of law you may need to be able to prove your identity (which in theory is possible with things like public PGP keys).

I'm clearly not a lawyer and you have every right to ignore the points brought up in this GitHub issue, but it's still a valid question (that should be answered sooner rather than later).

I copied and pasted that license and didn't realise it was there, i'll add my GitHub name.
