Packaging

[Stefan Kögl]

Hi,

I was preparing to package the current version of django-couchdb-utils
and put it on PyPI, just to get some exposure and make it easier for
people to find the library.

However, I still have some questions that I'd like to discuss with you

* Who shall we name as the main author? Thejaswi, is it OK if I use
your name and email address as you initiated the project?

* What shall I use as the website? Shall I use Thejaswi's GitHub repo,
or mine (as I'll do the packaging from there), or shall we set up a
simple page?

* What License shall we use for the library? I'd propose LGPL, but I'm
open for other suggestions.

Yeah, it makes sense that Thejaswi is the main author and his repo is
the "Linus repo". We could also add the url of the mailing list in the
README.

As far as I know there is already a (BSD like) license file in the
codebase, I presume we have been (unwittingly or otherwise) working
under that one.

Please feel free to use your name.

Use the repo from which you are performing the packaging.

I used the BSD license when I started working on the project because it is the easiest license to understand and comply with.

OK, I used mine now.

Oh, for some reason I didn't notice the existing LICENSE file ;)

Yay! This is good news. I also observe that both Martin and you have been very actively working on the project. I am sorry to not get too involved as I have been slightly busy (and mostly lazy ;) Great going, you guys rock!
