Hi all,
The error reporting server is based on cakePHP which is licensed under MIT license [0]. It is compatible with GPL, the license under which phpMyAdmin is licensed.
Under which license shall we license the code that is added to create the error reporting server? Both licensing under GPL or MIT is a possibility. It makes sense to license under GPL because phpMyAdmin itself is licensed under GPL. But it might be easier to use the MIT license, especially for files with mixed copyright (original cakePHP files being modified creating the error reporting server).
BTW : Conservancy allows us to license under the MIT license.
Anyway, there should be a license file (LICENSE and/or COPYING) in the root dir of error reporting server repo. And the files added to create the error reporting server should contain a header indicating the licensing info.
When must we decide about this? Can it wait until the team meeting?
I guess it can wait until the team meeting. For now, mohamed added a license file with the MIT license, but it can be changed later.
