Licensing policy is unclear

Open ghost opened this issue 10 years ago • 1 comments

LICENSE.txt indicates the MIT License, even if the name is ambigous. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#X11License https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#Expat But it is written in README.md that "the Java code are licensed under the MIT license; All rights of other parts, but not limited to the icons, images, and UI designs are reserved". So it is unclear if the whole package is free/libre or if only the source code is free/libre. If only the source code is free/libre, it would be better to indicate a precise licence for the other parts (for example a Creative Commons one). Moreover, this last sentence in README.md is a lie, because as it is written it covers translations, but at least mine (the french one) is under a free/libre license. Furthermore, I do not understand how the Java source code of UI can free/libre, but not the UI (images of the UI is a different topic). Regards.
