Is this statute law, or is that Github's own take on the law? Would that be the case if the code was hosted somewhere else besides Github? |
Everything in the law is an interpretation so, IANAL,TINLA. When you create something (include code) you own the rights to it. No one else can use that thing without express permission. If I tried to edit or even run this code @tromey could sue me for infringement. To prevent this people can give explicit permission to others to use their stuff (usually in the form of a license). Without permission it would be illegal. This has nothing to do with GitHub, and would apply no matter where the code was hosted. This is why license hygiene is so important. |
@tromey I am considering packaging this project within Guix. However, at On a related note, in case you're not aware, recent discussions in emacs-devel Specifically, for the Emacs project, a user's verification of the GPL compliance However, Cheers |
Currently this project has no license, which means no one is able to use it or work on it. Please consider adding an Open Source license to the repo.
