License issue with Random library

FascinatedBox opened this issue · comments

Lily's source code is distributed under the MIT license and I want to keep it that way.

I think it's a good idea that anything that Lily uses be MIT or public domain. That way, if someone is using Lily and they upgrade, they don't need to worry about now having code of a difference license.

One oversight that I've been grappling with is Lily's Random library. It's currently released under a BSD license which specifies that subsequent releases must have the copyright notice.

I'm going to look into an MIT-licensed alternative.

In the future, I'll make sure to pay more attention to licensing before adding code to Lily.
