SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
- Type: Permissive
-MIT License is a highly permissive license which allows content licensed under it to be
- used in any way, whether in source or binary form, and allows sublicensing under a different
- license, with the only restriction being the original copyright notice must be kept in order
- to attribute the original creator of the licensed content.
- Due to this license allowing the original project's name and/or contributors to be used to
- endorse or promote products derived from the original project, unless an explicit statement
- is made alongside this license, increasing complexity and deviating from the standard
- license text, we prefer BSD 3-Clause Clear License; however, MIT License is a great choice when derivatives
- using the name of the original project and/or its contributors is a non-issue.
SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only
- Type: Copyleft
-GNU General Public License v2.0 is a strong copyleft license which restricts use of
- content licensed under it by requiring all source code of the content to be publicly
- available, making binary-only form and inclusion of proprietary code impossible, requiring
- all derivatives to be licensed under the same license (allowing sublicensing under only
- newer GPL licenses if GPL-2.0-or-later is specified in the
- SPDX-License-Identifier), and requiring the original copyright notice to be kept in order to
- attribute the original creator of the licensed content.
- Due to the restrictive and invasive nature of this license, it is avoided unless such
- restrictions would be beneficial to Inferencium code; whenever this is the case, the GNU
- General Public License v2.0 will be used, rather than the more restrictive
- GNU General Public License v3.0, and relicensing derivatives under the GNU General
- Public License v3.0 will be disallowed.
