PR #681 with my user information was merged but http://allthingssmitty.mit-license.org/ doesn't have my information. Is there anything else I need to do?

My user with CNAME ramanan was added and licence page is now retrieving properly. However there is a small problem - Licence header doesn't include my name and url.

Is there something I'm missing or is it pending some configuration at your end?

Thanks!

I've got a forked project. Tehcnically I can't say that the sole licensor of the project is the original creator, as several people have made large contributions. Any chance of allowing an array to be passed, instead of just a single licensor?

See henrikbjorn.mit-license.org

It would be nice to have a plain text version.

The URL could be something like that:

http://rem.mit-license.org/ # HTML, or the default format specified in the json file
http://rem.mit-license.org/license.html # HTML
http://rem.mit-license.org/license.txt # Text
http://rem.mit-license.org/a526bf7ad1 # a526bf7ad1 version, HTML, or the default format specified in the json file
http://rem.mit-license.org/a526bf7ad1/license.html # a526bf7ad1 version, HTML
http://rem.mit-license.org/a526bf7ad1/license.txt # a526bf7ad1 version, text

Hi,
would you please take a look on https://unisharp.mit-license.org/ ,
It has not updated yet.

Thanks for the great service.

The MIT license API has been disabled for over a year. When will the API be reenabled?

Why http://msmosso.mit-license.org does not return my name/website/mail just like others do?

As you can see my accent "ë" is not well interpreted.

Current: functioncallback: https://functioncallback.mit-license.org/
New: wcamarao: https://wcamarao.mit-license.org/

New email: [email protected]
New URL: https://camarao.io
Theme: default

You can confirm email change by sending hi to [email protected], then wait for autoreply.

Thanks

I accidentally issued a CURL command before I was able to fully read all of the commands in the README and I would like to update the command that I actually issued. Is there anyway that you can actually remove http://benniemosher.mit-license.org for me please so that I can recreate it properly?

According to Google Lighthouse, the gravatar image needs an alt attribute which should be easily added via the name key in the JSON file.

If I am not mistaken, not all themes are listed in the readme.

This results in a file that has no trailing newline:

curl http://th.mit-license.org/license.txt > LICENSE

Editing the file in vim (or many other *nix-y editors) will then add a trailing newline.

I think a newline should be sent at the end of the response body.

Hey hey!

Thanks for doing this! I am 'ddd'. I've an display problem I don't understand, so I'm opening an issue. I'm adding a marked up image of what I'm seeing.

As the in-pic note says, this happens regardless of browser employed, and only after my users/ddd.json is applied. The preview of the elua-modern theme displays correctly.

Any ideas on the issue? I can use the developer tools to add additional information if required.

Hey Remy!

I noticed that making a request to http://remy.mit-license.org/LICENSE.txt works great, but it isn't mentioned in the README that you can make a request to the upper-case LICENSE.txt file.

I'm just wondering if I can rely on that working, or if it's just an accident and not officially supported.

Thanks!

curl -d '{"copyright":"myname"}' http://name.mit-license.org
This seems to be a permanent failure on my machine (see version bellow)

I'm guessing this is the problem
property_exists($data, 'copyright')

I'm wondering why you're checking the object rather than the array with isset() ?
Something like this:

$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'),true);
if (!isset($data['copyright']) {
Throw new Exception('>>> JSON requires "copyright" property and value');
}

Thank you

The created article and footer are nowhere used in the page because as such there is no reference to these. Hence wondering if they actually serve a real purpose.

It would be nice if it would be possible to return /license.md. That way, I could simply curl the url and save license.md in all my projects easily.

Not Joynet, but close (IMHO). I have years of PHP and nodejs experience, I will help convert it to nodejs, if needed.

Hi All,

first of all. Thanks for your work.
My user file (SaschaMzH) was merged but the mit license page has still the 'copyright holder' inserted.
Wenever I open the page http://SaschaMzH.mit-license.org/ but i will redirect to https://saschamzh.mit-license.org/ - could this be a problem?
I did not found any limitations about case sensitive user files.

Thanks
Sascha

Hi , http://wilddog.mit-license.org/ seems to not contain email and url .
can you update it ?

Thanks for you work~

I already has sended a pull request to add my domain, wich is lnmunhoz.mit-license.org and seems like there's nothing there except the theme with no informations.
Can just check it out to see what is happening please? #564.
Thank you!

Hi @remy,

First of all, thanks for this initiative. I've been using it for many years and have adopted it in various projects and often recommend it.

It took me by surprise the other day when looking at GA's tracking net for one of my browsing sessions, to see it also included mit-license.org.

Perhaps you're an active user of the GA metrics and I suppose I have no ask in that case, but if they're not critical, perhaps you'd be willing to reconsider its use for mit-license.org, in favour of something simpler, e.g. server-side based, or image-based.

Alternatively, perhaps it could be limited to the landing page of the base domain only, and/or specific subdomains only.

Any problem with the website?

I'm receiving "ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT" when try to access

First of all, cool project this! So please don't see this is as negative criticism...

In your readme you state that

note that the date will always show the current year

This is actually pretty common practice but I've always frowned upon it.
Copyright is not unlimited. It expires. This is why copyright notices contain a year. It allows us to know when the copyright has expired (and resolve matters of prior art etc). By always setting it to the current year we are basically extending it infinitely...

The copyright notice does not in itself hold much legal value afaik, so just putting the current year in it is probably not illegal, but it is definitely wrong technically and I wonder about it's moral implications...
It's also a bit weird that all works by a person licensed under the MIT license would have the same copyright year. The license does not change, but the copyright notice should. It should be different for each created work.

The right thing to do would probably be to allow for the copyright notice details to be passed along in the URL itself, so they could be changed for each project:

http://rem.mit-license.org?year=2014

Of course you could always fall back to the current year if no year was passed in the URL. Or better yet, use the year the cname was created. That will also stimulate people to pass the URL argument to 'update' the copyright when they make changes later.

What do you think?

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://krinkle.mit-license.org/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure stylesheet 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lora:400,400italic'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

I have confirmed that ddbd03b (28 Dec 2014) is deployed to http://karami.mit-license.org/, but later commits don't seem to be deployed.

Have you given any thought to hosting on Google App Engine? It has fairly generous quotas, especially for static content.

Just a thought!

Hi,
I sent pull request bitmxittz.json and user was created but bitmxittz.mit-license.org did not show copyright info.
I sent pull request as following
curl -d'{ "copyright": "Bitmxittz Developers", "url": "https://bitmxittz.com", "email": "[email protected]", "theme": "flesch", "gravatar": true }' https://bitmxittz.mit-license.org

then i commited changes to
{ "copyright": "Bitmxittz Developers", "url": "https://bitmxittz.com", "email": "[email protected]", "theme": "flesch", "gravatar": true }

still didn't work. so deleted bitmxittz.json and sent another request new pull request shows "All checks have passed" but user is not found in https://github.com/remy/mit-license/tree/master/users

Thank in advance for assistance in getting own mit-license page bitmxittz.mit-license.org with copyright info.

Thanks.

I noticed the core LICENSE.html uses the old ga.js - this will eventually be deprecated and should be upgraded to Universal Analytics - see here for instructions https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/upgrade/reference/gajs-analyticsjs

Also, since this loads asynchronously, it's recommended by Google to put it just before the closing to ensure a higher percentage of visitors are tracked. This does not block page rendering and thus has no impact on performance.

According to NPM, the following expressions are no longer supported in the package.json:

// Not valid metadata
{ "license" :
  { "type" : "ISC"
  , "url" : "http://opensource.org/licenses/ISC"
  }
}

// Not valid metadata
{ "licenses" :
  [
    { "type": "MIT"
    , "url": "http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php"
    }
  , { "type": "Apache-2.0"
    , "url": "http://opensource.org/licenses/apache2.0.php"
    }
  ]
}

Any idea how to point the license filed to a valid URL recognised by NPM?

They suggest to use this syntax instead:

If you are using a license that hasn't been assigned an SPDX identifier, or if you are using a custom license, use a string value like this one:

{ "license" : "SEE LICENSE IN <filename>" }

Then include a file named at the top level of the package.

But, I think this require a LICENSE file in the same folder. Any idea how to point that to an URL in order to conue using this mit-license service?

This project is a great concept. I'm curious if you can cut costs significantly by porting the project to Python or NodeJS and hosting it on AWS using API Gateway and Lambda. It would largely depend on request rates.

If there's interest I can certainly lay some groundwork and see if I can build a proof of concept.

Ankur.json was my file name but and it was closed but no html page is live.

Hi, if I forked a repository(under MIT License), and close the source code, I need to provide the link/source of original repository MIT License owner right?

However, if I also modify the source code, should I put my copyright & mit license notice in my forked repository?

Example:

Original repository owner license

The MIT License (MIT)

Copyright (c) 2016 Mr Owner

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.

and I modified the code in my forked/cloned repository, for my own use/publishing, and here is the license I think to use -

The MIT License (MIT)

Copyright (c) 2016 Mr Owner
Copyright (c) 2016 dvrein

Note: I changed the copyright section.

So is the second license acceptable?

or should I need to provide my new MIT License separated along with the original owner MIT License or just the original owner license (no mine).

EDIT: So I found my question is related to sublicensing under the same MIT License. However, I still don't know if I can add an additional copyright notice under the same license file, under the Mr Owner part?

Thanks.

I have removed gravatar from my json file because the theme doesn't support.

Hi All,

Since it appears that the ISC license is starting to get pushed as a replacement for the MIT, would you ever consider adding the ISC to this project, or allowing a fork of it?

I'm not sure that it would be called, but thelicense.org, and thelicen.se are both available.

Thoughts?

Hi,

first of all. Thanks for the merge, but my user file it is like jaime.json, I want change to jaimeneves.json,
it is possible ?

https://jaime.mit-license.org -> https://jaimeneves.mit-license.org

Seems like it might be nice to support a way to inject a "year string" in the generated copyright file. The standards here are pretty ... non-standard, but I've certainly seen things like the following:

2011
2009-2011
2009,2011
2009,2010,2011
2008,2010-2011

ad nausem

I've always thought either a single year or a single range would be enough - the comma'd versions don't make too much logical sense to me.

Some examples of how you might use this:

part of the URL path:

http://rem.mit-license.org/2009-2011/license.txt
http://rem.mit-license.org/2009/license.txt

query string:

http://rem.mit-license.org/license.txt?2009-2011
http://rem.mit-license.org/license.txt?2009

or

http://rem.mit-license.org/license.txt?years=2009-2011
http://rem.mit-license.org/license.txt?years=2009

The query string versions look rather hideous. I like the in-path version. Perhaps this could be supported by looking at every path segment, see if it matches a "year string" regex, and if it does, the pull that out as the year string.

It might be late to change things now but it'd be great to have it hosted on GitHub. For free. With an automated generation.

Here's how it could work:

• URLs would be https://mit-license.org/username
• Usernames can only be added via PR
• PR would be a single file, Jekyll would take care of template generation
• A bot on Travis would verify the PR and automatically pull it or reject it

Advantages:

• Free hosting
• No risk of downtime (i.e. no need to mess with it, ever)
• Zero human interaction 🎉

Disadvantages:

• No automatic 2009-2010 year creation unless you also have a bot that is notified on 404 and creates the page for the next visit. Alternatively it's just a one-line PR away. Or it can be added via JS on the client.
• No curl, but maybe a new command could be crafted to do it from cli

Notes for the change:

• You'll probably need to setup redirects from the existing URLs to the new URLs, but this might be easy if your registrar offers redirects directly
• License versioning should just be updated to specific numbers rather than commits, to simplify automated page creation. /v1 instead of /a526bf7ad1

I made the the json file called "mayankjha.json" and also created a pull request that was merged but the license dosen't to be live yet why?
am I missing something?

Hello,
My address has not been created But my commit is confirmed & merged.
https://mr-mostafa.mit-license.org/

I added myself using the curl command : curl -d'{ "copyright": "Shagun Sodhani", "url": "https://shagunsodhani.in", "email": "[email protected]", "format": "txt" }' http://shagun.mit-license.org

The site is live here but no .json file was created in the user directory. I wanted to update the theme so how do I go about it.

It's clearer that way that this is something a new user can own themselves.

On the other hand it's a little ugly.

That said, I could go the tumblr route, and allow people to opt-out in their json files.

Thoughts?

In the API we create user files, I think API should also return HTTP codes like 200 OK, 403 forbidden etc.

I was gonna add this and send a PR but I'm not sure which HTTP status codes to return.

Any ideas?

After setting up a user, is it possible to update the details without issuing a pull request? Say, for example through a curl request. Of course, this would request some kind of authentication. Love to hear if this is possible or such a thing is planned.

Is there any point to add https (SSL) support to mit-license.org (and *.mit-license.org) for allowing https://username.mit-license.org? I probably can try to donate a certificate.

What's more important - does current hosting support SSL at all?
