License clarification #72

Closed alyssais closed 3 years ago

alyssais commented 3 years ago

Hi! I'm looking into packaging Markets for Nixpkgs. I wasn't able to tell at a glance whether the license for this project is GPL 3 only, or GPL 3 or later. Upon further investigation, I found that the Flatpak metadata said "GPL-3.0-or-later", but it would be great if this could be mentioned somewhere more obvious (like the README), because in my experience as a packager license metadata in Flatpak, npm, etc. configurations is often out of date / not what the author intended.

Thanks!

@alyssais Sorry for the late reply, I was off for some time. Thanks for looking into packaging Markets for Nixpkgs.

The license is "GPL-3.0" and it is mentioned here:

https://github.com/bitstower/markets/blob/master/COPYING

...I will fix Flatpak metadata by changing it to "GPL-3.0".

Done.

I've read about the differences between those two and I changed my mind. Let's make it GPL-3.0-or-later. I added a note in the REAMDE and Flatpak metadata contains GPL-3.0-or-later. It should be clear now.
