Regarding licence, and code on GitHub

#1

Hi,

I’m not at all experienced with licenses, so I need to check on publishing a sample on GitHub https://github.com/Gavin-Williams/Paradox-Samples If there are issues with this please let me know.

Currently, as far as I know:

  • Paradox open-source version requires the code to be compatible with GPL if you want other people be able to use it (MIT/BSD are OK since they can be relicensed in GPL).
  • If you target only the binary version, license of your choice should be OK.

Maybe we will need to reevaluate those restrictions and licensing of derivative work, thanks for bringing that up.

Thanks for sharing!

Also, I noticed you probably want to add a .gitignore files, because you committed many extra build-time binary files (bin, obj, *.suo, *.user, etc…).

Thanks for the tip regarding .gitignore, I’m reading up on it now.

Edit : I found a useful post on stackoverflow which provides a ready made .gitignore file for Visual Studio projects: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2143956/gitignore-for-visual-studio-projects-and-solutions I simply dropped this text into the gitignore file.

While you’re adding a .gitignore file, add a .gitattributes file. :wink:
