Licensændring

Vi er store fans af MIT-licensen, især enkeltheden gør den til en perfekt licens til små softwareprojekter.

Men på grund af PSONOs vækst har vi taget os tid til at undersøge andre open source-licenser, der er kompatible med MIT, men som beskytter bidragydere bedre. Derfor vil vi skifte til Apache med den næste udgivelse.

Den officielle dokumentation afspejler allerede denne ændring. Alle bidrag til Psono vil blive licenseret under:

Yderligere har vi tilføjet "Developer Certificate of Origin", som folk omkring Linux-kernen måske er bekendte med, som et krav for bidrag.
