Figure out which license to use #20

Open secretrobotron opened 6 years ago

@lauradereynal Creative Commons for assets + MIT/BSD for software?

@ryanwarsaw Let's make sure we reference the Apache license for exoplayer.

@secretrobotron We don't have to since we're not changing anything.

@ryanwarsaw I'm by no means a license expert, but this is what github highlights:

@secretrobotron Technically it is not included with the software, you download it on your own and when you do, that also downloads the appropriate licenses.

@ryanwarsaw Using this and other pieces of software I've seen which mention open sources licenses they use in help menus as guidance: https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/262057/must-i-provide-my-project-source-code-if-i-use-a-library-licensed-under-apache-2

I don't think that part matters a whole lot at the moment though, because this isn't really being "distributed". However, it might become something if IRC chooses to make this less of a prototype, at which point @lauradereynal and the gang can figure out what actual licensing they want to use.

In other words, this is a P23029358, and definitely not something to worry about for MVP.
