I own the copyright of GitJournal, the parts contributed by others are explicitly under Apache2. So, I therefore have the right to dual license the application and ship it on the Apple App Store. I'm planning on releasing this new app's code under GPL (2 or 3 or AGPL). - https://github.com/vHanda/gringotts (I'm not sure what to call the app though, any suggestions are most welcome) > > > So far, I've been reimplementing the subset of Beancount v2 format > > that I use in Dart but this comes into the question of the API being > > copyrightable. > > I don't see the connection between implementing a parser for a given > file format and an API.
