Just noting that this doesn’t seem to have a license, which makes using it in certain settings pretty iffy. Nice project, anyway!

- steveklabnik 6y agoThe Cargo metadata says MIT.
- mplanchard 6y agoLegit question, does that work? I thought the license needed to be included with the source.
- steveklabnik 6y agoI am not a lawyer. Given that "The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software." is in the license, and it isn't included... I dunno. But at the same time, the legal system doesn't work like code. It's more flexible. So, who knows?
- mplanchard 6y agoYeah, the license requiring itself to be included in copies was what I was thinking of. Not having it in there leaves it in a gray enough area that I would be hesitant to rely on it for something where the licensing was important. Very possible the metadata being there and indicating the unique(?) license identifier of “MIT” would be enough to convince a court in the event of Problems, but I also am not a lawyer and like my usage rights to be unambiguous.
