Subject: Licenses on scripts?
Hi,

I just got a request from a user of my Arduino syntax file for vim
[1]. He asks if I could put a license on it. I'm thinking the MIT
license or perhaps creative commons (CC-BY).

It's not a big deal for a syntax file of course, but is there any
standard for this? Anything I should think of to make sure it can be
included in vim proper at some point [2]? I've seen one case of
reusing the vim license [3], but it doesn't really seem to fit.

Please CC me, as I am not on the mailing list.

Thanks,
Johannes

You can use the Vim license.  If you are not happy with that, make sure
that the lincense you pick is compatible with the Vim license, otherwise
you would need to dual-license it for distribution with Vim.  Note that
this isn't so easy to verify.
