Relicense to the mpedb License 1.0 - #10
Merged
Merged
Conversation
The same text as mpedb and MPEqs, byte for byte, so the three projects share one licence rather than three that can drift apart. Free of charge for every person and every organization, except that a group over five billion dollars in revenue or valuation owes seven US cents per device, once. The OSI classifier is removed rather than swapped: this licence is not OSI approved, and "License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License" would have been a false claim in the package metadata. It now reads Other/Proprietary, and the LICENSE file ships inside the wheel. ONE THING WORTH KNOWING BEFORE THIS GOES OUT. This repository has had outside contributions, and PR #3's author is credited with Co-authored-by on the download-image commit. Their work was offered when the project said MIT. In practice nothing of theirs remains in the tree -- that feature was reimplemented on the client side, and the server-side version it replaced is not in any current file -- so this is a relicensing of code that is ours. It is still worth recording that the question was asked rather than skipped. Version 0.4.0, because the licence a package is distributed under is not a patch-level detail.
