2 years ago Hi and thank you for your comment. I have added the MIT license to this newer version of the code, and hope that clarifies things 😊 https://github.com/xnafan/Simple-image-comparison/blob/master/LICENSE.md Kind regards - Jakob
Hello,
thank you for the promising utility! (Though, I haven't tried that in action yet... :) )
I want my own project to be as clean as possible from licensing point of view thus checking the license of the library before trying that in the project.
I see that original article and files were published at https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/374386/Simple-image-comparison-in-NET under The Code Project Open License (CPOL) https://www.codeproject.com/info/cpol10.aspx
What's the license of this derivative project?
An additional note: I believe, absence of the explicit license mention in this repository provokes original license violation by all, who created forks of the repository. Because the license for the original project requires "You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this License with every copy of the Executable Files or Source Code You distribute and ensure that anyone receiving such Executable Files and Source Code agrees that the terms of this License apply to such Executable Files and/or Source Code." On my opinion, all, who forked and modified something this repository without including the link to the SPOL, violated the SPOL.

So, I'd say that explicit specifying license in this project would really help.
Thank you.
