For those who are late to this thread, the license was "Feel free to do whatever you want. Please include the original header in any modifications or redistributions." before the author changed it to a MIT license.
Lesson learned: no license at all is better than "Feel free to do whatever you want."
That said, I wonder if "Feel free to do whatever you want" would hold up if this would be taken to court.
- jathu 11y agoYes, I just added an MIT license to all my work after some people suggested it. I was just too naive to think no one would do this, hence my very loose initial license. Wouldn't the "Please include the original header in any modifications or redistributions" hold up?
- greenyoda 11y ago"Please include the original header" sounds like you're asking for a favor rather than imposing a requirement. It's saying something different than "you can do whatever you want with this as long as you include the original header in any redistributions".
