Which license do you use?
Opened this issue · 7 comments
Hello @peterbe ,
I am the member of cdnjs project.
We want to host this library.
But there is a question about license want to ask.
I found that the license you mention in package.json is BSD.
And I want to ask which version of BSD do you use.
Please take a look at this.
Thanks for your help!
Wow! I have no idea which one is right. What do you think?
@peterbe here are some popular licenses: https://opensource.org/licenses, and I believe this website can help you decide: http://choosealicense.com/, one of the key points is if you allow the forks close source or you want them also be open source, hope this can help.
By the way, do you intend to use the server-side part of Autocompeter.com? If so, I strong discourage that.
Because the project hasn't been the success I hope'd it be, it just becomes a server burden to fill up my Redis database. It turns out that it doesn't scale very well and to be able to scale it'd cost a lot more money to build up the infrastructure.
I think the JavaScript code that does the actual autocomplete widget is good. And I hope that's what you're referring to in the context of cdnjs.
I think we'll only host the client side codes, the license changing is fine, we'll only display the latest one on CDNJS.
If you find bugs in the client-side code I'd be more than happy to work with you. The Go + Redis server is going to slowly die I think.
@peterbe maybe you'll like to remove the old license file?
