What is tachyon's license?

PandelisZ opened this issue · comments

Whats the license for tachyon itself? I might need to extend it a little to fit it into our workflow and would like to know how much of the source I need to keep public :) Thanks for the awesome work!

(Obv I'll contribute back all I can!)

cc @rmccue here, he's our resident license expert :P I don't think it would be anything that requires you to publicise the source, but I don't know on the upstream licenses

According to license-checker:

├─ MIT: 50
├─ ISC: 19
├─ BSD-3-Clause: 4
├─ Apache-2.0: 3
├─ MIT*: 1
└─ Apache 2.0: 1

As far as I know, the code in Tachyon is not derived from any other source, so I'd say we should specify the licence as ISC; @joehoyle?

@PandelisZ In any case, we wouldn't use something like AGPL or require publishing changes. GPL is possible, but you'd still be able to keep your alterations private.

ISC sounds fine to me
