Request: License TinyCAD Under a Free Software License #93

Description

@Magicrafter13

While TinyCAD is open source, legally speaking it is still proprietary software:

... without a license, the default copyright laws apply, meaning that you retain all rights to your source code and no one may reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from your work.

(From https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/licensing-a-repository#choosing-the-right-license. Emphasis mine.)

I believe that at this point, since there is more than one developer/contributor, all people who have contributed code would have to agree on what license the code gets to be under (or at least what license, if any, to put their code under). Some licenses allow having codebases with mixed licensing, some don't.

I would personally recommend either a GNU GPL, or the MIT license.

If those options don't suffice, you may wish to check out https://choosealicense.com/.
