Licensing concern about one of your files
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Hello!
I'm Vlad, one of the owners of Sapphire. It was brought to our attention that one of the files in this repository (https://github.com/jay3332/js-cord/blob/rewrite/js-cord/core/Queue.js) is a 1:1 copy of our already published module @sapphire/async-queue (with it's source code located at https://github.com/sapphiredev/utilities/blob/main/packages/async-queue/src/lib/AsyncQueue.ts, where your code has extremely minor changes like removing documentation).
We'd like to ask you kindly to either use our module (npm i @sapphire/async-queue), or add the appropriate license header (either in a THIRD_PARTY_LICENSES.md file, a license header comment at the top of the Queue.js file, or in the repository's LICENSE.md file). The license itself is available at https://github.com/sapphiredev/utilities/blob/main/LICENSE.md, and applies to all packages, including async-queue.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask them!
Thanks,
Vlad.
Completely forgot about this, will add it right now. Thanks for bringing this up
Thanks for taking care of the license.
However, it's not fully compliant to MIT License's requirements (which is to include the *full* license), the title ("MIT License") and the authors are missing.
As a side note, the queue's code might be hard for you and/or your team to maintain, and might be misunderstood in the future, is there a reason why did you decide to not use the module?
Also, this repository doesn't have a LICENSE.md file, which legally forbids anyone but you from distributing and using the code.
I didn't want to have too many dependencies. Adding a license file right now.
