License? about faceswap HOT 13 CLOSED

MIT is the way to go.

I'd go with MIT or Apache because that way companies can contribute without worrying how they might be able to use it in the future. Just my 2 cent.

I'm reopening this because it still needs a solution.

Pull request #220 Add GNU General Public License v3.0

from faceswap.

I think his or her address is at http://www.fakeapp.org/

from faceswap.

I'm personally in favor of using GPL3 or LGPL3.

from faceswap.

@Ganonmaster, why exactly?

from faceswap.

Should be GNU. Then other projects which use this will always be open source

from faceswap.

As a contributor, I feel happier knowing that the software will be free in perpetuity; usable for everyone, rather than leaving it open to companies that wouldn't contribute anything back to the project.

Should other contributors want to opt for something more permissive, the LGPL would be an adequate compromise.

The original code is from /u/deepfakes on reddit, so the decision relies on him

from faceswap.

Any license that makes it free for life, anyone/company can contribute but understood that they cannot claim whole/part ownership of it ever(companies should sign like a waiver that even if they had contributed work/resources on it, they could never take a tiny bit whole/part ownership/partnership neither permanently nor temporarily, cause you know companies can pay lawyers and find loopholes.), not to use whole/part of any where of the app/code to make their own free NOR especially for commercial, neither for private nor non-private use.

You can also patent it or something.

from faceswap.

we still need to get /u/deepfakes to approve this licensing. If you can get into contact with him, then we can put a license on it.

We cant license it without /u/deepfakes because then the license is void due to the unknown license of the original source.

@gdunstone I strongly doubt that /u/deepfakes is going to reply or ever assert his moral right to be known as an author of parts of the original codebase for obvious reasons.

I'd be happy to assert that the masked merging is derivative of the code in /dfaker/df and as such should be under MPL-2.0 if that helps anyone line up behind a boring decision faster.
