Clarify licensing #13

Closed neumann-paulmann closed 5 months ago

This software claims to provide an "open standard". Yet, I cannot see any license information within this repo. So I must assume, that it's "All rights reserved" by the author. Is this true?

Are you interested in implementing a ZigBee coordinator backup format in your application? Or is there some other purpose to this issue?

neumann-paulmann commented 5 months ago

I would be interested in using this proposed standard in an application depending on its licensing condition, yes.

puddly commented 5 months ago

I didn't really consider licensing for a proposed standard but consider it MIT.

The reason I ask is because this standard document has diverged from what's actually implemented by applications. If you have a genuine need, let me know and I can update it. If you are just concerned about licensing but are otherwise not actually using this standard, that's a different problem with a much simpler solution.

I am actually currently porting a zigbee gateway software for home automation to Rust and was looking for some commonly used (i.e. quasi-standard) coordinator backup format that lead me to this repo. I liked the format described by the JSON schema, but could not find any terms of usage / license for this alleged standard. So here we are... :-)
