Missing Licence #13

Closed sadlil closed 7 years ago

sadlil commented 7 years ago

Your project is missing LICENCE.

From opensource.org:

What is a "permissive" Open Source license? A "permissive" license is simply a non-copyleft open source license — one that guarantees the freedoms to use, modify, and redistribute, but that permits proprietary derivative works. See the copyleft entry for more information.

Is SOME PROGRAM Open Source? Only if it uses one of the approved licenses, and releases appropriate software.

Can I call my program "Open Source" even if I don't use an approved license? Please don't do that. If you call it "Open Source" without using an approved license, you will confuse people. This is not merely a theoretical concern — we have seen this confusion happen in the past, and it's part of the reason we have a formal license approval process. See also our page on license proliferation for why this is a problem.

Which license should I add then, can you suggest me? I have no knowledge of licensing.

sadlil commented 7 years ago

MIT, Apache 2.0, and GPLv3 are the most popular open source licenses, but there are other options to choose from. My personal favourite is MIT, much simpler - non professional licence.

So you decided not to have a licence?

yTakkar commented 7 years ago

No I'll be adding MIT license!

sadlil commented 7 years ago
