For example, it’s possible that the .NET Core SDK distribution might be fully open source for Linux but include a closed-source component on Windows. In this case, the SDK would be licensed as MIT on Linux and use the .NET Library License on Windows. It is better to have more open licenses than less. - It is OK for the source and binary licenses not to match. For example, the source might be Apache 2 but ships as an MIT binary The third party notices file should capture the Apache 2 license. This only works for a permissive licenses, however, we have limited the project to that class of licenses already. The value of this approach is that binary licenses are uniform. |
