Question

Review license

@davelab6 forwarded the following article to me re public domain dedication of work intended to be open source licensed work:

https://meshedinsights.com/2017/03/16/public-domain-is-not-open-source/

This wasn't associated with this project, it was because we have run into issues with this public domain issue in Hack as a result of DejaVu upstream work that was committed to the public domain.

Given the potential for unintended (I assume) consequences in some jurisdictions, I wanted to see if we can review the CC0 statement in this script. Would you be opposed to a transition to an OSI approved license for the shell script here?

CC0 is fine with me, thanks!

That's the point :) what would you prefer after cc0? MIT?

Ah, I misunderstood. Actually, I don't care, and MIT is fine with me.
