I was analyzing the licensing situation in the
lime-packages
repository. There is no file that indicates the global license, there
is no CLA (Contributor License Agreements) and there are copyright
headers set in some files inconsistently.
Talking with some of the developers we consider
it appropriate to
establish a license (such as GLPv3 or AGPLv3). This would affect
future
contributions, but it would be necessary for contributors to accept
that their already written code is also licensed.
To solve this situation I propose:
* Set a license
* Clarify that the contributions made in this repository respect that
license.
* Change existing headers and add missing ones.
* Create a pull request with all these changes and approve the merge
among all contributors as a form of acceptance.
