Hello there. Thanks for your time and taking a look at the app. |

About the license, my idea was to start scim with its own license, and keep |
4 |
it as simple as could be, but keeping in line with the points mentioned in |
5 |
it. |
6 |
I believe it will always suit best something particular and written for it, |
7 |
than something more general, but take in mind that this license can suffer |
8 |
modifications since this project is just starting! Since SCIM can be |
9 |
modified and redistributed with other license, such as any other GPL |
10 |
compatible, I believe is not as restrictive as it seems. |
11 |
Please, I am interested in hearing what points you dislike or consider are |
12 |
restrictive. |
13 |
Thanks! |
