Add License

Open jdittrich opened this issue 10 years ago • 4 comments

User Story: As a programmer I may want to use some of the sample app code in my own (possibly open source) code.

Problem: The repo does not a license

Suggestion: Add a license which makes clear, if the code is proprietary or could be used in own projects. (The chrome apps example-repo from with which this repo is seemingly related, uses the Apache 2.0 license)

If there is no licence, and the code is open-source, than the code is "free_for_all"... But that might depend on what country you are from...

As far as I am concerned, in the US and Europe it is not the case that code without a license is public domain. Like for anything else (Images, Music...) the normal copyright applies in these jurisdiction, if not specified otherwise.

I tried adding the MIT Licence, but the question is if the pull request is accepted... https://github.com/zcbenz/nw-sample-apps/pull/36
