This is a cool little addon to help you tell, at a glance, if the repository you’re browsing on github has an open source license license.
Especially relevant nowadays given the trend to convert previously OS repos to non-OS licenses as a business model (eg Akka or Terraform.)
That’s a great idea! Esp if the list is actively maintained & updated.
Since I am NOT the author of this extension, do you think you could write down your thoughts on the project’s issue tracker?
I am not sure this is inline with the project goals. I prefer discussing it before opening this kind of issues.
That’s a fair point 👍 I just wanted to point out that I’m not the author.
As I said, I very much like the idea. It helps raise awareness around the current trend of switching licenses to curb competition/make $$$.
