dual-licensing default files

[dezren39]

hello are you amenable to dual-licensing specifically

• emanote/default/index.yaml
• emanote/default/templates/*

in order to better be able to support users forking emanote-template and then pulling in templates to customize their usage.

my concern is that while emanote-template is CC0, a user may update their after-note.tpl from emanote-template, all good, then they want to modify sidebar.tpl or sidebar-tree.tpl etc. and then they need to choose if they are going to relicense or how they share out their code changes to comply with agpl. a naive user may "just copy" the file into their emanote-template while following suggestions in docs here/elsewhere without realizing the complexities involved in licensing, violating the agpl license by making the file appear cc0. if a user looks at emanote/default/index.yaml in order to understand how best to modify their own then that might need to be relicensed too?

possible options i see..

• do nothing, except maybe document this for users
• dual-license above files with cc0 or mit or something. mpl-2.0 whatever
• copy above files into emanote-template repo
  • this has some unfortunate complexities,
    • the 2 instances of the file could get out of sync
    • would maybe still need some documentation so users know their options

i might just move my default files back into my emanote fork, edit the defaults directly and then that will thread the needle for me for now.

This works for me

here's a first attempt at clarifying licensing:

happy to change however you see fit or just close and let you get to it however you prefer when you've got time. :-)
