Have you specified a license for your code? about gumbo-query HOT 6 CLOSED

You can use it as you wish

from gumbo-query.

Just FYI, your header files and your CPP files include the following license block:

/***************************************************************************

• Copyright (c) 2010 baimashi.com, Inc. All Rights Reserved
• $Id$
• **************************************************************************/

As such, this pretty much negates the uploading of the MIT license file. I'm wondering if you'd replace this full copyright claim with the MIT license text, or a short blurb saying "This file is made available under the MIT license - see LICENSE.txt"

Not trying to be picky, just that this kind of issue prevents open source projects from being used or included in other projects because it scares people away simply because they respect your right to claim full copyright. :) As it stands, none of us technically have any right to use this software because of the explicit "All Rights Reserved" without any declaration of rights to use the file under any license.

Thanks for publishing this code. :)

For example, the proper way would be to replace the existing copyright claim blocks with the following:

/*

Hi,
I am not familiar with all these open source license, but I put my code
on github for open source purpose, and hoping to help someone.
I have changed the license, wish to see your product.

@lazytiger I'd be happy to let you know what I'm using this in, when it's done. For now I'm curious, do you want me to file bugs here, or are you interested in just having people fork and work on the repo themselves?

from gumbo-query.

@TechnikEmpire I think both are ok.
