Code is under Copyright - license information missing about isomorphic-ui-benchmarks HOT 5 CLOSED

The license info was in the package.json, but I've added a LICENSE file as well.
https://github.com/marko-js/isomorphic-ui-benchmarks/blob/master/package.json#L26

from isomorphic-ui-benchmarks.

I don't quite understand this issue myself: it's opened here, implying that

make the first commit to github

somehow involves this repo. The marko team and several companies clearly have no problem with using marko itself, so I don't think using related benchmark code privately is going to make you liable for lawsuits.

An official answer would be nice, though.

I think the marko-starter issue above resolved this.

I am not sure i understand you remark.

• marko-starter has added a license file, which fixes Copyright - license info missing
• marko has added a chapter License to the readme; This is better than not having it but the github help reccomends to include it (see quote below)
• This issue for the isomorphic-ui-benchmarks is still valid, since the repo has no license remark inside the readme nor a license file.

The github help about licensing a repository

Some projects include information about their license in their README. For example, a project's
README may include a note saying "This project is licensed under the terms of the MIT license."

As a best practice, we encourage you to include the license file with your project.

@mlrawlings Thanks for adding the license

@0joshuaolson1
To clarify by make the first commit to github i meant that i noticed that this repo had no license while i was about to push a modifiend version to a public repository. But without a license i would not be allowed to use, copy, distribute, or modify [this] work. I did strike the intro through to avoid misunderstandings.

To give some context
Our legal departement is very strict about using open source code, they insist that we make clear which version is used and include a deep-link to the open source repository and the relevant license file inside the same repository.
