Unless I'm reading it wrong, it sounds from the license[1] like programs made with Jank that you want to distribute must have their source available. If the intention is that distributions of the _Jank compiler itself_ are the only things that need source available, I think it'd be good to spell that out.

- terinjokes 4y agoI'm curious if there is a reason you went with (what I believe is) a derivative of the Sleepycat license, instead of one of the more familiar licenses? Your comment here is at odds with my understanding of how the Sleepycat license works and how Berkeley DB is licensed.
