Cambio di licenza

Siamo grandi fan della licenza MIT, soprattutto per la sua semplicità, che la rende una licenza perfetta per piccoli progetti software.

Tuttavia, a causa della crescita di PSONO, abbiamo dedicato del tempo a esaminare altre licenze open source compatibili con MIT, ma che proteggano meglio i contributori. Ecco perché con il prossimo rilascio passeremo ad Apache.

La documentazione ufficiale riflette già questo cambiamento. Tutti i contributi a Psono saranno concessi in licenza sotto:

Inoltre, abbiamo aggiunto il "Certificato di Origine del Sviluppatore", che le persone coinvolte nel kernel Linux potrebbero conoscere, come requisito per i contributi.
