photonlibpy: License under MIT

[auscompgeek]

Everything under the photon-lib directory is intended to all be licensed under MIT:

photonvision/photon-lib/.styleguide-license

Line 2 in e40c8fb

* MIT License

Presumably we don't want to force teams to release their robot code under GPL.

[auscompgeek]

Gah, I just saw the serde generated files also have a GPL header. Please hold...

👋 @LucienMorey @james-ward @mcm001 @crschardt @spacey-sooty @gerth2 @JochemvdBroek y'all have commits touching the non-generated files in photonlibpy since #1408.

The licensing of photon-lib is a little bit confused right now; there's a LICENSE file at photon-lib/LICENSE which implies the contents of that subdirectory should all be MIT:

photonvision/photon-lib/LICENSE

Line 1 in 53e6890

MIT License

However, due to a historical accident #1408 added a GPL header to photonlibpy/__init__.py. The intention seems to have always been that this should be MIT licensed, since this is intended for robot code (see #1704 for more context).

If you're all okay with this change, please leave a comment explicitly agreeing to release your changes under the MIT licence.

For clarity, I agree for my changes to be licensed under MIT.

Yes, the intent was to license photon-lib under MIT. And yes agreed that's good with me.

Photon-targeting was added later and linked into -lib without conversation about licensing implications. We still need to hammer that out separately.

[spacey-sooty]

I am happy with my changes being relicensed under MIT

[LucienMorey]

I agree

[JochemvdBroek]

I also agree with releasing my changes under the MIT licence

[james-ward]

MIT is fine by me.

[gerth2]

I agree

[crschardt]

I agree for my changes to be licensed under MIT.
