Choosing a LICENSE

[dphiffer]

also hi 👋

Hi! Adding MIT with #5 to start.

I chose a BSD license for my class in the Fall but I'm not completely convinced that was any better. I think the third clause is interesting though: "Neither the name of the copyright holder nor the names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software without specific prior written permission."

I'll leave this issue open for class discussion!

Reference: more discussion about the two licenses

Btw, I'm in the market for a guest speaker about software licenses... interested? 😄 Or recommendations for people I should consider reaching out to?

[dphiffer]

sure, yeah I'd be happy to!
