Mind changing to MIT license? #7
Comments
@yonderblue I have no idea about what are the differences between GNU General Public License v3.0 and MIT |
@im7mortal This page by github is nice and concise in their bulleted points of each: https://choosealicense.com. An (albeit dated) article from github shows most choose MIT https://github.blog/2015-03-09-open-source-license-usage-on-github-com. |
@yonderblue It will take some time for me to read about it and to comprehend it. Is it a blocker for you? I definitely will not sue you if there will be license violation 🤣 |
It is often a big blocker for companies that wish to use the code, would highly recommend changing it if you want more widespread use. |
This is a blocker for sure. It's not just about you suing someone, it's about being in violation of GPLv3 if you ever want to distribute or sell a closed source product that has something in it using a GPLv3 license. Technically once you include GPLv3 code in your project, your project is now GPLv3. If someone wants to use this without that restriction, they have to negotiate a separate license with you. |
@yonderblue @someburner changed license to MIT. |
Much appreciated! |
