any particular reason you are using BSD license ? With all due respect, this does not cover a patent grant like the Apache license and could be a poison pill for companies to adopt.
- tomchristie 9y agoI just had a quick scan over the licenses of other projects used for server side projects. Projects using BSD/MIT include Node, Go, Rails, Django, and Flask. I'm happy with the choice.
- sandGorgon 9y agoSorry to interject - but that's not completely true. Go comes with a separate patent disclaimer. https://golang.org/PATENTS https://golang.org/PATENTS And IMHO nodejs is not a standard BSD license and comes with patent grant. That discussion went on for a year in the TSC . https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/LICENSE https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/LICENSE In general, this stuff is not always evident. But the BSD license by itself is not as good as Apache. While in doubt, use Apache ! P.S. fyi, doing this later is super heavy-duty hard.
