licensing question

[Adam Kowalski]

Hi,

I'm very new to licensing aspect of software.  If I put my own code (which makes use of a slightly modified version of PyQtGraph) on PyPI, then should I include the PyQtGraph License as well as a MIT license for my code? 

For the license for my own code, I see that on https://opensource.org/license/mit/

one could just copy and paste this into a new license file and put my name and date next to the copyright line.  But can I just create a copyright like this or is there some formal legal procedure one must go through to obtain an actual copyright?

Thank you very much.

Adam K.

Hi Adam,

I'm not a lawyer, and this is not an area I have much expertise, but my understanding is you do not need to include PyQtGraph's license unless you are redistributing PyQtGraph's source code.  If your application lists PyQtGraph as a dependency, then you do not need to do anything special.
