License type

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Hi Jnavila, I was trying to add Kiri, which uses your tool on Kicad PCM. It probably won't work, as a submission since my tool has a lot of dependencies. But there is an issue that I don't understand much. It is about the licenses.

Plotgitsch has this license file.
https://github.com/jnavila/plotkicadsch/blob/master/LICENSE.md

Which license is this one?

Hi,

If I remember correctly, it's a MIT-like license. I picked it up because I was also relying on some packages that had something similar and could not select a GPL one as such. I think it's no longer the case. Is it an issue for you?

Hi, thank you.

This came up on this discussion here. Seth told me to fix the license field on my PR here. And he also said I should use a license that fits both Plotgisch and Kicad-Diff. The latter has an MIT license but it was not clear the type of license in this repo.

This one is Kicad-Diff's LICENSE as reference.
