🔊 Licensed Repository 🔒

To the future that may ask!

Some may be familiar with this commit: 5470d9b .

It's a commit wherein the license was added to each and every file.

---

But why?
-- You may ask.

It's for the protection of those that already have and will contribute to the repository.

Without a license, the maintainer and the individual authors of a repository are susceptible to "legal actions".

That is if any of the code in this repository is to be used for malicious actions.

---

But why the MIT License?
-- You may also ask.

I chose the MIT License for I couldn't choose the Unlicense "license".

The reason for that is... It's just not "reputable" enough to be considered as a "license" by some countries and some people.

---

Every license in the repository that I can see has your name, does that mean that you own our code inside of it?
-- You may ask that again.

I am only the maintainer and creator of this here repository.

You may substitute your name on the license on the header of your submitted file.

I do not literally "own" the code (except if I am the author of it), I just maintain them.

In other words, you are still the "author" of your submitted code, I'll just maintain them for the future.

---

I'm still the "author" of my code? Does that mean that I can do anything with it? Like, say... delete it?
-- Can feel the heat now.

Yes, you are still the "author".

You can do anything with it as long as I approve of it.

You can see me as the "maintainer" as the second safety lid on your "self-destruct" button.

If you would want to delete it, think about it for a moment, many others may still be relying on your code.
