Copyright / License

[oskarpearson]

Hi - Thanks for a useful module.

Could I trouble you to add some indication of the license / copyright to this project?

It seems that the original Arduino code might be under Apache v2 - if this is a port of https://github.com/JoyLabs/arduino

I'm interested in using the code as part of https://github.com/oskarpearson/raspberry-pi-access-control-system but would prefer to license clarity before I do so.

Thanks!

Oskar

Hi Oskar!

I have tried to trace the original author of the Arduino Code without
success, I suspect that it was just a proof of concept from the
manufacturer, the original code even had comments in chinese, it didn't
have attached any license.

I remember that I downloaded it from a blog that managed to get a backup of
the code before it was deleted from the manufacturer website. But this kind
of modules are manufactured in several places so it's really hard to know
wich was the original author.

Let me look in my records to see if I can find something. The RPi version
is a full rewrite that I made following the logic on the original
source-code.

I normally release my code under GNU/GPL v2, but thanks for remind me that
I still have not added a license to that repository. I would add it now.

Regards,
Mario.

Thanks Mario!

I thought I'd just check in here. I've got some commits that I'd like to make to the code, but would prefer to have the license nice and clear before doing so. I guess I'm a bit pedantic with that stuff.

The changes I'm going to propose make the code useable as a library, and also normalise it's formatting to PEP8. That way I can include it in another piece of code I'm writing.

Thanks for everything,

Oskar

Hi all!
After many years the code now includes the copyright notice and the license. In this case I have choosen the GNU LGPL 3.0. Please take this into consideration when using in your projects. Sorry for the long delay. I hope this allows you to include the code in your projects and make derivatives more easily.
Regards.
