No copyright or license information

Closed this issue · 4 comments

Hi,

I took a look at packaging naga for Debian/Ubuntu as Jmol is now using it.

However, neither the source code repository, nor the released jar files contain 
any licensing or copyright information. The Google Code site says "MIT", but 
this is insufficient for anybody reviewing or auditing naga for use in other 
open source projects.

In the best case, each .java file would contain the MIT license (which is quite 
short) as source-code comment at the top of the file, together with some 
explicit copyright information like "Copyright (c) 2008-2011 
Christoffer Lerno". At least, the MIT license should be included in the 
top-level directory of the svn trunk/branches/tags directories and the released 
jars (e.g. in a file called "COPYING"), possibly with a reference to it from 
every .java file.

Finally, having a source-only release tarball or zipfile (basically just the 
content of the subversion repository at the time) would be welcome, but is not 
required.


Best regards,

Michael

I'll try getting around to doing so as soon as possible.

  • Changed state: Accepted
I've added the MIT license (reluctantly, it looks ugly in the source)
