Add a License

[albuch]

Currently this project doesn't have a license. This could especially be useful for others wanting to use the pug logo.
I would recommend a CC3.0 variant

[TimothyGu]

The license is declared as MIT in

pug-www/package.json

Line 20 in 24b3494

"license": "MIT",

This is consistent with the code in Pug proper.

Note, the text of documentation is not in this repo but https://github.com/pugjs/pug-en. That repo does not have an explicit license either, but since it was first copied from Pug itself it would be covered by MIT.

[TimothyGu]

A PR to add a LICENSE file containing the MIT license to this repo is welcome.

[albuch]

As MIT license is not very convenient and common used for artistic work like images would you accept a PR that dual-licenses the images under a CC4.0-BY license?

[TimothyGu]

We don't have any images in this repo or the pug-en repo other than the logo, which is the work of @christopherdowson. You should ask him for permissions.

May I ask in what ways you are planning on using our documentation/images?

[albuch]

We'd just want to use the logo for a blog post describing our companies software stack, and well, copyright is a bitch sometimes ;-)
I see that there is a repo for the logo, so this should probably go there: https://github.com/pugjs/pug-logo

[TimothyGu]

Ah I see.

Well, @christopherdowson is the author of the logo. Christopher, would it be acceptable to dual-license the Pug logo you created as MIT + a CC license?

Also @albuch it'd be near impossible to relicense the documentation itself, as it was created by many different contributors over years (including former Jade contributors).

[albuch]

@TimothyGu sure, I was only asking for the image to be dual-licensed, not the whole documentation.

[christopherdowson]

Apologies - never got the email updates for this (or anything else). I'll check my spam folder more often in future.

As long as I'm credited as the originator of the logo (on github at least - I'm not that precious), I'm happy with whichever licensing option(s) make life easier for the community :)
