Public repo?

[oddui]

So this is the repo for DataTrue_client ruby gem. I think it can public and have a permissive license. What do you all think? @Lens10/core-team

I wanted to put it under https://github.com/datatrue but someone has already got it. Do you now how we can find out who registered it?

@rjowett I read somewhere that Github will make reasonable endeavours to transfer names. Reach-out to them and explain the situation.

It's common for companies to namespace their project, though. Look at New Relic - their ruby agent, for instance, is under the company name: https://github.com/newrelic/rpm

For us it would be /lens10/datatrue

Given our trademark woes I have even thought about keeping it generic: https://github.com/lens10/api_client

[thiagofigueiro]

Regarding the licence, I have preferred Apache 2.0 in the past mainly due to the explicit language covering patents and trademark.

@oddui shouldn't the copyright be Lens10?

https://github.com/Lens10/datatrue_client/blob/master/LICENSE.txt#L3

[oddui]

@thiagofigueiro yes, that was generated by bundler, just updated.

@Lens10/core-team should we switch the license to Apache2 as @thiagofigueiro suggested?
