From c3f61223d9b30203573e7cb5a1299a464125aacf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Samer Hassan Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2023 19:11:06 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Creation of LICENSE file to add a license By default, any creative work without an explicit license, including Github repositories like yours, have the most restrictive license of them all: exclusive "all rights reserved" copyright. I assume that since you have your (awesome) software in a Github repository, it is your intent for people to use it, fork it and improve it. Thus, I'd strongly advise to add an open source license to facilitate this -- otherwise, it would be illegal to use this code in any way. If you want to allow any use of it, I'd recommend a MIT License (which is the one I'm including in this pull-request). I am happy to help clarify doubts or uncertainties around all this, or help choose another license if you don't like these (there are other options in Github's https://choosealicense.com). --- LICENSE | 21 +++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+) create mode 100644 LICENSE diff --git a/LICENSE b/LICENSE new file mode 100644 index 000000000..59368599b --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE @@ -0,0 +1,21 @@ +MIT License + +Copyright (c) 2023 Daniel Salinas + +Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy +of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal +in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights +to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell +copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is +furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: + +The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all +copies or substantial portions of the Software. + +THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR +IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, +FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
