FErki<p>Many projects mix code and non-code content. Some of them use a single license to cover them all, some decide to apply different licenses to different type of content.</p><p>I wonder, how commonly projects use different licenses for their code and non-code content?</p><p>If you know examples of this, please consider sharing a link in replies.</p><p>Happy to learn about your related experience and insights in replies too.</p><p>Please consider boosting for wider reach, if you find it interesting.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/licensing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>licensing</span></a></p>
Dan Brown<p>Came across this questionable legal workaround in a (GPL + Commercial licensed) project today:</p><p>&gt;&gt; All contributions to this repository are made under the MIT License</p><p>&gt;&gt; If you make a PR, the PR code is licensed as MIT. As soon as I copy (merge) the code into this repository it is then made available under the GPLv3 as part of &lt;project&gt;</p><p>Anyone seen something like this before? Seems sketchy and less honest than a required CLA. Just wondering if it's done elsewhere...</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/licensing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>licensing</span></a></p>
