I've sent a reminder and explanation to @zanculmarktum. |
Some explanation is in order: I have tried to contact Zanculmarktum three times in the last 25 days, but I have not received any response. Meanwhile, others are waiting to be able to use flake-compat, so I have decided that it is best to move forward with the licensing effort, considering that everyone else except Eelco has already agreed, and quickly as well. I have no hard feelings towards Zanculmarktum and I really do not like having to make this commit. This reverts commit e363cff and subsequent improvements. I should note that it could be argued that their contribution was not a creative work in the sense of most copyright law, but I'd prefer to avoid any confusion by choosing to reimplement their contribution in a "clean room" manner.

I've reverted the unlicensed commit. It may not have been "creative work" under copyright, but better safe than sorry. Also, no hard feelings. Could someone implement tarball support on this branch, without looking at earlier versions or the "Revert unlicensed contribution" commit? ie "clean room" reimplementation. I estimate that it can be done in well under 30 minutes. I'd do it myself if it wasn't for the fact that I've already worked on that code. |

I don't think a "clean room" implementation is necessary since this contribution is "de minimis" and can't really be implemented in another (obvious) way. |
A properly-licensed version of flake-compat is now included: edolstra/flake-compat#23

An open source license protects contributors and users. Closes #16.
I assume the omission of a license was an oversight, so I would like to help by providing a suggestion and taking care of the process.
For the license I propose MIT, same as Nixpkgs.
@edolstra @Ma27 @zanculmarktum @cole-h @matthewbauer @nlewo @zimbatm please comment to confirm:

Of course you are free not to agree. Doing so would be bad for the community though. See https://choosealicense.com/no-permission/
