Description
@theo-armour ,
I have a few models that I can contribute but I just wanted to make sure that I understood the intention behind the choice of an MIT license for this repo. I have both models of existing historic buildings that I could imagine fitting nicely with the MIT license but I also some personal models of designs that have been fleshed-out over the course of architecture school with the aid of Ladybug, which I could imagine fitting well with the Ladybug-web capabilities but maybe not so well with the MIT license.
Everything else in Ladybug+Honeybee is GPL and this has put me at ease knowing that the code cannot be copied into a proprietary package that could restrict someone else's access to the capabilities. Having a GPL license here could also put me (and I imagine some others) at ease knowing that our designs won't be copied into a proprietary package.
If I am correct in understanding that this repo is really only for historic buildings and for designs for which we really don't care about the right to access, then I will just contribute the historic buildings. Otherwise, let me know your thoughts on a GPL license for this repo.
