You can't take GPL 2.0 software and license it as MIT

Can you dig normally after zcash 2.0?

nimbosa commented 6 years ago

Yes @webworker01, I can confirm that this is correct: https://github.com/zone117x/node-open-mining-portal/blob/master/LICENSE; it cannot be changed EXCEPT by the original author of NOMP but the change even then would not be retroactive. Code licensed under GPL2 would remain under GPL2. We will revert the commit that changed this in our repo.

Thanks for noticing.

webworker01 commented 6 years ago

Thanks, repo is still incorrectly licensed.

nimbosa commented 5 years ago

the license was updated on the dev branch and will be in master/production on the next release (overdue) @webworker01
