3. Licensing for XSEDE software (David Hart)
Previously:
- (6/20) Added to agenda.
- (6/20) Email from Dave H:
I checked the current XSEDE github repo (github.com/xsede) and XCI has been applying the MIT license (which appears to be a reasonable choice per Dan, Svetlana and others), but with copyright assigned to XSEDE (which I believe isn't appropriate).
The last email from Svetlana follows.
I think we need to codify XSEDE's licensing approach and apply it consistently. This would be good to have decided before we start implementing a future "transition plan".
Discussion:
- Tabling this topic until the next call.
