Friendly ping! Sorry for being pushy, but it looks like rms is going to request that all unlicensed packages be removed from Melpa, and if I can demonstrate that authors are still acting in response to my requests such as this one, then he might delay that another few weeks, giving the remaining authors more time to act. I think it would be a mistake to remove the unlicensed packages as that has the potential of causing a lot of bad blood.
Thanks a lot!
Sorry @tarsius, I was off the grid for a while. Will do.
EDIT: Done. You mind restoring the package inside the Melpa tree?
Thanks!
I have restored the Melpa recipe.
Could you please specify the license used by this package?
Assuming that you want to release under "the GPL v3 or any later version", the best way to do that would be to add this to the library header:
You could also, or instead, add a
LICENSE
file containing the text of the GPL-3. But if you only add that file, then the "or (at your option) any later version" bit won't be known. I recommend that you do both.If this is too noisy for you, then you could also add one of these following lines to the header. (I do however recommend against doing only that - a judge might decide that this is not sufficient.)
