I think there would better be a LICENSE file same with toml-lang/toml, at least in specs folder. If not, no one can use the whole translation docs in the futhur, because the default copyright belongs to all translators self.

Indeed! Thanks for flagging this @LongTengDao! ^>^

I do agree that at least the specs/ needs to have the same LICENSE as the original repository.

@cannikin You wrote the bulk of this repository's source code (everything other than the specs/ directory). How do you think we should license those?

cannikin commented 4 years ago

Oh boy, the license stuff goes into legal territory and I'm not comfortable recommending anything in that area! That being said, if the original spec is MIT, then it makes sense that all translations are also MIT? Can you just put one in the parent specs directory and then covers all the translations automatically?

pradyunsg commented 4 years ago

Yes, that sounds like how we should be handling the specs/ directory. What about the rest of the codebase though? :P

cannikin commented 4 years ago

If everyone is cool with MIT I can just slap one in there. How does the copyright work? Should it be Tom's name in there?

LongTengDao commented 4 years ago

I think toml.io's site files (layout, color scheme, etc.) should not be used by other individuals or organizations without authorization, because there should be only one official website.

I'm not sure who would better be the copyright name of site files (exclude spec files), but it should be the site files' license's primary purpose to always allow and only allow official use.
