Hi there, I'd love to use this gem but the lack of a license means I'm not able to. Would you mind adding a license to this repository? http://choosealicense.com has a good overview of some possible options.

Thanks! 😄

That's a great point.
I have added a reference to MPL in most of the files, but no repository level license, which makes more sense.
Since I need to add it, I guess it is a good time to review if MPL is the appropriate choice. I was thinking in MIT or Apache as alternatives.
Do you have a preference? Could you share your thoughts on this?

Cheers,
Sergio

Sorry I missed this 😄

I'm not a lawyer so definitely can't give you advice but I personally release all of my stuff under MIT because it's simple and permissive which is what I want. I know some people prefer Apache 2.0 because of the way it deals with patents.

In short, I think either would be great. Thanks for the response!

Please, add a license file in the repository.

Add LICENSE.txt, containing Mozilla Public License v 1.1

minutes ago.

I used MPL 1.1, per @SergioFierens' response to SergioFierens#22, where he said
MPL1.1 is the licence for this repo. Since then, the latest MPL is 2.0,
but we can handle updating the licence in another thread.

Fixes SergioFierens#31

Whoops! Too fast on the PR, I missed the discussion about updating the license.

I guess you can consider this a +1 for this issue. 😃

Apologies for the noise! Before I close my PR, has there been any further thought to which license?
