We should add a licence (file) to this repository.

jplitza commented

Valid point, everything should have a license. I suggest and usually use MIT as it is as liberal as it gets and has no strings attached. I could also settle with BSD 3-clause or BSD 2-clause. GPL is far too blown up for this small stuff.

As far as I can see, these other people have up to now contributed to this repository:

Could all of them please leave a short notice here, with which of the above-mentioned licenses they agree, or suggest alternatives if absolutely necessary.

I'm ok with any of the mentioned licenses.

I added MIT and struggled a bit with the "copyright holders" placeholder. I ended up entering Nils and myself by name, and added "and others" at the end for two reasons:

  • the git log doesn't state realnames for @kpcyrd and @thomasDOTde, and I wasn't sure if they should be mentioned
  • Nils and I have contributed the most [1]
    If anybody is not okay with that, please file a pull request with fixes, this is just a suggestion.

Some project keep a AUTHORS file for this reason, e.g. the django project: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/AUTHORS
