License?

[barbeau]

What license is the code in this project shared under?

I look at a few file headers, but a few had just "(C) OpenPlans" in the header, and a few had "(C) My Company", but no license info.

Fingers crossed for Apache 2.0 ;).

@barbeau Ah, it looks like this never got fully cleaned up and incorporated into the project. We should be able to add a new license file to this and I don't expect there's any problem with Apache/MIT but we'll need to confirm.

[kpwebb]

@abyrd any restrictions on what we we can put here license-wise?

[abyrd]

None from me personally, but if I am not mistaken this work was entirely carried out by OpenPlans as work for hire, so they had control over the licensing. I don't recall, was there discussion of licensing at the time of the code handover?

@kpwebb @abyrd Ping on the license for OTP iOS?

@kpwebb @abyrd Another friendly ping on license for OTP iOS?

[abyrd]

@barbeau I have been unable to determine this. I believe we asked some people at OpenPlans in the past and never got a conclusive response. @kpwebb do you have any idea?

[barbeau]

@kpwebb Do you know the license for this project? This is one obstacle for us contributing to this project - we need to know the license first.

[aaronbrethorst]

ping, @kpwebb or anyone else?

[abyrd]

@barbeau @aaronbrethorst the problem here is that this code was developed as work for hire for OpenPlans, which is no longer active. I'm not sure who we could even contact now who could definitively attach a license to this code.

[aaronbrethorst]

That's a bummer, but thanks for the clarification

[fkh]

@barbeau what license are you hoping it will be?

@fkh per @barbeau's comment on Nov 10 last year, Apache 2.0 would've been ideal.

[barbeau]

@fkh Yes, hoping for Apache 2.0.

[barbeau]

@fkh Yet another hopeful ping here - could we get an Apache 2.0 license attached to this code?

[aaronbrethorst]

@fkh ping +1 — What Sean said.

[abyrd]

The problem is still the same. This code was developed as work for hire for OpenPlans, which is no longer active. I am not sure anyone has the authority at this point to attach a license to this code, and if so who that would be. @fkh do you have any idea? It is a shame to see this code just sitting unused simply because no one knows what the license is.

Very unfortunate - and now the code is largely out of date and many versions behind both the OTP API, Mapbox and others. :(
