We went with MLP 2.0 because it’s got some trademark protections to keep somebody from rebuilding and releasing the app under the Nos name. I’m a big fan of MIT when it comes to open source licenses. We’re pretty focus on the Nos implementation. But if somebody wants to work with us to extract code and help create an SDK that we and others could potentially use, we’d be open to re-licensing the code needed under MIT.
#[0] #[1] There’s a group of us building a Nostr iOS SDK to enable any iOS developer to easily build their own Nostr app. The key conversion parts were confusing to me so I copied some code from Nos in this pull request. The SDK aims to be MIT licensed so that anyone can use it anywhere with no strings attached. I know that Nos is licensed under Mozilla Public License Version 2.0, which if I understand correctly, might require us to include the MPL license for the respective code. Is there a chance we can redistribute your code under the MIT license just to simplify things for everyone and to encourage folks to build on Nostr without legal concerns? https://github.com/nostr-sdk/nostr-sdk-ios/pull/24

Perfect. We’ll proceed with this approach then. Thanks for this and your team’s work on Nos.
