[elm-discuss] licensing?

[Raoul Duke]

i come across elm libraries that lack any LICENSE.md which means i
can't use them at all and probably have to burn my eyes out of their
sockets etc. to be on the safe side or something.

i wish people would always include a (good, valid) license, even if it
is just whatever the legal mumbo jumbo for "all rights reserved" is.

I'm not a lawyer but every elm package has a license declaration in
elm-packages.json.
It defaults to BSD3 which is a very permissive license.

I guess it could be argued that by stating that in elm-package.json, you
are placing your code under that license.

I do think that this should be treated seriously and maybe have elm-package
throw an error if the repository does not have a LICENSE file or if the
license is not OSS approved.
