I love the transparency of having your source on Github, but the license ambiguity isn't ideal when revealing this to the world:
We are currently working on a new
license for Kryptonite. For now,
the code is released under All
Rights Reserved.
https://github.com/KryptCo/kr#license https://github.com/KryptCo/kr#license
Soon as I see that, I've got to close the tab, so does anyone who cares about IP.

- dudus 9y agoIs proprietary code even allowed on GitHub?
- shimon_e 9y agoYes
- stordoff 9y agoYou grant some rights to other users of GitHub, but I'm not seeing anything that prevents proprietary code: > If you set your pages and repositories to be viewed publicly, you grant each User of GitHub a nonexclusive, worldwide license to access your Content through the GitHub Service, and to use, display and perform your Content, and to reproduce your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub's functionality. You may grant further rights if you adopt a license. https://help.github.com/articles/github-terms-of-service/ https://help.github.com/articles/github-terms-of-service/ To anyone more versed in US law than me, what usage specifically does "use, display and perform your Content" permit?
- Ajedi32 9y agoHow's that ambiguous? The code is proprietary; all rights reserved. Seems like they're planning to change that in the future, but in the meantime the existing license seems pretty clear to me.
