We should decide on what license to use for the Wikispeech extension.
Decision
GPL 2.0+
Reasoning
GPLv3 is acceptable for a MediaWiki extension. But using "GPLv2 or later" is keeps a consistent licensing language throughout the project.
Options
- GPL 3.0+
- Pros:
- This is the license specified in the application
- Cons:
- May make it a bit tricky to use libraries etc. licensed under GPL 2.0 (if not "or later")
- Pros:
- MIT
- Pros: -
- Cons: -
- GPL 2.0+
- Pros:
- The same license as MediaWiki (guaranteed compatibility)
- Cons: -
- Pros:
Todo
- Report change to funding body
- Change licenses throughout code
