Currently, Popper’s Git repository is under the MIT license, which resides in the
LICENSE
file. That is common practice for open-source projects, but it has several drawbacks:.gitignore
.For these reasons (in particular the first one!) I suggest to make the Popper repository REUSE-compliant. REUSE is a standard from the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE). The website offers various resources, a tutorial, and tools.
I think it is crucial to do this now because it requires consent by the contributors to change a license, and the older a project gets the more difficult that becomes. For text and media files (images and Markdown texts) I suggest to move from MIT to CC-BY.
