Context
The subtitle of this project says
This indicates that other people would be able to clone, extend or change this project/code.
Sadly, I was not able to find an Open Source License.
Without a specific license, the normal copyright law applies. And this makes it harder to build upon this.
See Licensing a repository for more context.
Proposed change
This Pull Request adds the MIT License to this project. To get more information about this type of license, I suggest to check out MIT License at ChooseALicense.
I used the year of the project start until today as a license time frame.
I used @btford's name as the main author.
What is needed?
As far as I know, all contributors need to agree on a new license.
A quick check with
git log --format='%aN %ae' | sort -uon this repository shows, that @Voles contributed to this project in d951393.So before the merge, we would need his approval.
Why MIT?
The MIT License is well spreaded inside the JavaScript community.
Furthermore, @btford used this license in a sub-component. See
Also Angular itself is also. See
