License file / information is missing

[krisdante]

A license file is missing in this repository and it is not clear what license terms apply to this extension. Can you specify it?

If you read this license:

6. This Agreement gives you the right to use one copy of the Software (excluding development, staging or testing servers) solely for your personal or business use, subject to all other terms of this Agreement. A separate License should be purchased for each new project and/or client.

So basically if you have muliple servers on production - this is against the License - as you can have one copy.
It aslo says something about purshing - so this extension cannot be used for free from github?

7. You may not use any part of the code in whole or part in any other software or product.


This is Magento extension. It is used as a part of other software / product - a Webshop. It makes no sense to be used standalone.

8. You may not sell, sub-license, rent, lease or lend any portion of the Software or Documentation. Any copying, redistributing, reproducing, transferring, displaying to the public, or making available to the public without our consent, including noncommercial distribution (public network such as the Internet, github, bitbucket, packagist, etc) is regarded as a violation of this Agreement and will be enforce according to the law and you agree to paid all costs (including but not limited to reasonable attorney fees) to protect our intellectual property and any damages suffered by us because of your misuse.



This points forbids to publish this software on github (sic!). Forking is also against this license.

The license file shall be part of the Repo.

This license mainly applies to a paid extensions.

But they are several individuals/companies that would just download our extensions and then do a find and replace (not event add or removing 1 line of new code) and then remarket it as their extension. Hence the reason for some of these terms.

All my free extensions are free to use

[krisdante]

I fully understand you. Hence the license shall be attached to the software and reflect reality. The definition free to use is wide and shall be specified, especially that it is a conflict to a license you referred.
If this extension is free and open sourced and also open for forking and improvements - consider adding a liberal license like MIT, or something more strict like Apache.
