[FEAT]: Find a proper license

thebino opened this issue · comments

Description

There are many licenses out there, we should find a license where most of the contributors are happy with.

  • should not prohibit the usage of closed source libraries
  • should prevent people from making money based on the community contribution

How about MPL? It requires redistribution of modified source files under MPL while also allowing linking to closed-source deps

Any reason to not go with apache or MIT?

There seems to be a good amount of copyleft in this space, seems like a reasonable thing to support imo.
