Hello! I would love to adapt this code in my own projects and for clubs that I row for. I notice there currently is no license file included in this project and wanted to reach out and ask what, terms, if any, this code can be used under?

Personally I'm partial to more of the copyleft licenses, such as the GPL, that require any changes that other people to this code to be distributed under the same open license terms (so that they can benefit everyone), but that's just my personal preference.

Through personal networking it sounds like the intention is for this repository to be built on and adapted by others. It would still be nice to have this officially be released under some kind of license though - happy to do the work of making a pull request, but knowing which license to pick would be helpful. A quick summary of the options:

  • MIT - "other people can use this, even for not open-source projects"
  • GPL/AGPL - "other people can use this, but their work/changes should also be made open source"
  • Something else

happy to chat about the options or just pick something depending on the time constraints of the authors (afaik just @maxgarber), although it would be nice to at least get something added as an official license to make the terms of use clear and legally unambiguous
