> @joewitt Earlier you had advised to use the MIT license for the generated software from the Kaitai Project. We have changed the code (i.e. removed some of the generated code, placed in its own classes, added variables, removed variables, used different methods than the generate code etc.) Should these changed classes still have the MIT license or should we use the Apache license and mention in the NOTICE file the derived classes are from the Kaitai Project which has an MIT license? This trends towards the i'm not a lawyer space but i'd say it this way.... If the code is started from a substantial block of MIT code and chose to decompose it and improve it various ways I'd keep the resulting code that stemmed from that original as MIT as well. We don't really gain much by trying to claim it is ASLv2 and/or under the apache copyright anyway so better to be safe here and keep its original provenance clear. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
