[License-review] license review request

[Eric Schultz]

Seung-Eon,

Thank you for intending to release your code under an open source license!
Our entire community benefits from individuals like yourself.

At first glance, your appears to be using the 2-clause BSD license. If you
are submitting that license with your name as the copyright holder, I'm
happy to let you know that you don't have to. Part of the power of the OSD
and the licenses that meet its definition is that you don't have to ask
anyone to release your code under an OSI license. You are welcome to apply
any of the licenses verbatim, with only your name as the copyright holder
added, and your users will receive the benefits that derive from the OSD.
There's no need for you to ask anyone, including this list, to do so.

While, from my first glance, you don't appear to be modifying the 2-clause
BSD license, if you are, then you may have to submit that license to this
list. Is that your intention?

Thanks so much for the work you do and your (apparent) interest in user
freedom,

Eric
