- velcrovan 2y agoIncluding the whole license in the gist was probably overkill, but I particularly like Blue Oak for permissive licensing and would like to see it more widely used. https://writing.kemitchell.com/2019/03/09/Deprecation-Notice.html https://writing.kemitchell.com/2019/03/09/Deprecation-Notice...
- LelouBil 2y agoHey, English is not my first language so I'm surely missing something here but: > Copyright > Each contributor licenses you to do everything with this software that would otherwise infringe that contributor's copyright in it. This sounds like the license specifically allows you to infringe on the contributor's copyright.
- velcrovan 2y agoIt's a permissive license. The licensor is saying “I own copyright in this work, which gives me the right to give you permission to do whatever you want with it.”
- bb88 2y ago> If anyone notifies you in writing that you have not complied with [Notices](#notices), you can keep your license by taking all practical steps to comply within 30 days after the notice. If you do not do so, your license ends immediately. I'm not sure I like it. Like, what if the notification of notice was incorrect? You lose your license anyway?
- velcrovan 2y agoBy default under most open source licenses, particularly permissive ones, violating the terms even by accident ends your license instantly, with no notice whatsoever. Including a fair, common sense path to forgiveness severely limits legal risk for users, and is one of the things I like about the Blue Oak license.
