Licensing Intention Statement
We want you to be able to use and build upon SWARM's efforts as freely as possible. The parts that make up SWARM were built by many different people with different ideas about how they should release their efforts to the world. Some of these parts were built by people that never even heard of this project. This is the way of "open source".
The gist of our licensing is that if you use some of our project in your own, you should tell your audience that you did so. The best way to do that is to include a statement like the following in your work: "portions based on SWARM, http://orbswarm.com".
We'd love to hear about your project. Maybe we could add your efforts to our own, or maybe we could work your project. We know this stuff pretty well. We'd love to hear from you at info /at/ orbswarm /dot/ com.
