Licensing

internalfx opened this issue · 4 comments

What is the GridFS specification licensed under?

That's a great question, and I'm sorry for the delay in answering it. All our drivers' implementations of the spec are Apache 2 licensed, but we haven't chosen a license for the spec, or any specs. Why do you ask, please?

I was planning on adapting it for another project, but in the end I decided to write it from scratch.

So we're good.

Thanks, @internalfx. In any case your question (once I noticed it here) prompted a useful discussion about how to license our non-code intellectual output.

@ajdavis Glad to hear it.

I've chosen ISC myself.
