hello wikimedians, excuse for wading into this issue, frankly i couldnt sit idle i will add couple of words about license. i am always interested in opensource licenses. i will write about afdstats & twinkle (a) i did check license of afdstats given at Category:Toolforge tools [1] i choose it because it is first tool. there is no license mentioned at wikitech page [2] github repo [3] does not have license also (b) twinkle [i was plainly curious] only select2 [4] license is given on twinkle github page [5] there is no word about contributors license on contributors page [6] (i expected some kind of license for submitting prs) [1] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Toolforge_tools [2] https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tool:Afdstats [3] https://github.com/enterprisey/afdstats [4] https://github.com/select2/select2 [5] https://github.com/wikimedia-gadgets/twinkle [6] https://github.com/wikimedia-gadgets/twinkle/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md regards, jindam, vani Gnus/5.13 Emacs/27.1 (gnu/linux) toots: @jindam_vani@mastodon.world gnome: w.wiki/67VT
