That is NOT free and open source software

Much disappoint.

This is not the way.

Creative Commons is not meant for software anyways. 🙄

Which is odd because a lot of people use it as a license even though the CC website specifically says to not do that.

Oops, I just copied and pasted from a different nostr repo. Can you recommend some resources to looking at licenses?

No worries my man. MIT is probably what you'd want here? nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z uses that for Amethyst. I am not a license expert at all though.

Wen expert?

I'll let you tackle that task.

But if it’s not MIT I will mock you.

It is now 🤙

MIT is the king of code decentralization.

You can look at a lot of them here:

https://opensource.org/licenses/

MIT is a “do whatever you want with my work” license.

Others have various levels of restrictions, such as limiting someone from being able to keep their changes private (like GPL)

Hopefully he will consider a license change. Considering the choice of no derivatives on CC it seems his goal is “source available” not “open source.”

Far be it from me to throw shade, but I think the advice to not use CC is solid.

He did. It's MIT now

Licenses are hard and confusing. It's probably best to ask why a license was chosen.

It is now 🤙
