# Description of issue
This project currently does not carry a LICENSE. In the spirit of
free software I'd like it to adopt a free license clearly in the
project root. If possible, refer to the license in the README.md as
well.
Since this is something we should decide with all contributors, all
of them have been tagged in this issue. Please respond to this issue
with the license you are OK with to put on this codebase.
I'm OK with any license that is approved by the FSF[1], with a
preference towards (A)GPLv3.

I am adding my votes in which are: MIT, (any) This should be done. I'm going to use a very simple ranked choice voting system to tally votes. As there were up to 4 choices made, I give the first choice of anyone 4 votes, the second choice gets 3 votes, the third 2 votes, and the final just 1 vote. My tallys are as follows:
I am reading "(any)" as meaning that any FSF or OSI approved license would be considered reasonable. Therefore, "(any)" and "MIT" make up a plurality, which indicates to me that no runoff is necessary as they hold a plurality together. Therefore, I will go ahead and add the MIT license to plugin as well as add appropriate documentation elsewhere to that effect. The license need not be set in stone, so if someone disagrees with my logic or the way I counted votes, please comment and we can discuss it. |
For choice of MIT license, see poll on issue Raku#6. For "Raku community", I copied what was in use by the most recent other Raku/* project that doesn't use "The Perl Foundation" or "The Free Software Foundation" (neither of which seems correct here). Unfortunately, that is from a little-known project called github.com/Raku/setup-raku/. Fortunately, it's by Shoichi Kaji, who has a fair amount of experience w/ project management. That being said, if there is any objection it's fine by me to modify it or request a change.
