Where do I put my MIT license on my website?
Where to put license for MIT licensed code on website
- Comment out the license before each section of relevant code in their respective files.
- Create an acknowledgements page with the license referring to the specific code.
- Write the license on the page in which the code appears.
Do I have to cite MIT license?
Yes, what you have done is sufficient. The README.md states that the project is available under the MIT or Apache License 2.0. That means that you get to choose which license you use.
Is this the correct way to include this MIT License?
The MIT license requires that “the above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.” By including the license in the source file, you have met this obligation. However, I would recommend putting the text of the MIT license at the top of the JSON.sh file, not at the bottom.
Where to put the MIT license in json.sh?
However, I would recommend putting the text of the MIT license at the top of the JSON.sh file, not at the bottom. From my experience, the license information (whether it’s full license text, boilerplate, or a short identifier of some kind) is usually one of the first things in the file.
What’s the difference between a GPL and MIT License?
The MIT license includes all the rights the GPL gives and more. And while people who receive your distribution only receive a GPL license to elements you added, they still receive an MIT license (from the original authors, not from you) to any elements contained in the work that the authors offered under that license.
When to include code not licensed under GPL 2 or higher?
As alternative, as the repository I am using allows me to include code not licensed under GPL 2 or higher license when the code is not maintained anymore, could the plugin be considered not maintained anymore, as its last version was released three years ago? It’s technically legal. The MIT (Expat) license places a few restrictions on you.
