I am wondering about copyright matters on projects built using an MIT-licensed project skeleton.
The symfony-standard contains a MIT license but obviously, at the end of a proprietary project, this license drops.
Of course, nobody minds. The symfony
command (symfony new <project>
) doesn't even create a LICENSE file.
But is it legal?
I mean:
giving project attribution (which is the only MIT restriction) to Fabien makes no sense when the project is built (especially for proprietary ones)
we may want to create GPL projects
IMO (I'm not an expert though), a project skeleton should have the most permissive license, such as Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, else that's very ambiguous. What do you think?
