The readme says All rights reserved.But the license file is the apache license with the names swapped. That seems like a contradiction. I almost closed the tab immediately when I read the readme.
- dbrueck 4y agoIANAL and don't care either way, but it's based on 1.1 of the Apache license, and it also has 'All rights reserved' text in it [1] so I'm not sure I understand the problem. [1] https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-1.1 https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-1.1
- dec0dedab0de 4y agoI believe the copyright notice in the Apache license is for the license itself, not for the software it covers. If the software is all rights reserved, then it is not open source. By definition Open Source Software grants some rights to the users. Though I'm sure it was just some boiler plate they stuck in the readme. In any case I really just wanted to point out that it is open source, even though at a glance it looks like it might not be.
