Hello,
I was thinking of forking Atom.IO. However, the license is not what I was expecting. From what I can tell, it is a proprietary license. It is not a common MIT/Apache style license. This concerns me. Why not just use a familiar license? What are the pitfalls of this non-standard license?
It seems to be the MIT License:
http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT
I’ve only eyeballed it, though. Is there a subtle difference that I missed?
As @kgrossjo and @postcasio have pointed out, it is the MIT license. Here is the blog post where they open-sourced Atom Core:
Before that blog post though, everything but Atom Core was already MIT licensed.
