Example template licensing question #12

Closed mschilli87 closed 2 years ago

mschilli87 commented 2 years ago

Dear @tomasbjerre,

First of all, thank you for this fantastic tool. I am using it to generate the changelog for a package released under the AGPL3+. However, I want to include the scripts and templates for build and release chores which includes my Mustache template for the CHANGELOG.md file and I'd like to distribute that template under the GNU All-Permissive License. Since that file is basically just a modified version of your Conventional Commits example, I wanted to double-check with you: Are you fine with me releasing 'my' work derived from your example under that license? Do you want me to still reference/include the Apache 2.0 License in my package? Do you want me to list you as a copyright holder of that file (and thus my package) or do you consider that snippet copyright-free so I can treat it as if I started my template from scratch instead of tweaking your example to suit my needs? I guess the whole idea is for people to re-use that code but better safe than sorry. :wink:

Thank you in advance for any clarification.

Best, Marcel

I am totally ok with you treating it as copyright free!
