Question on Hobby-license

[Bruno Chabrier]

Hi,

I am a Hobby-licensed user, and have a question about a repository:

• I am creating a React app for my personal use. I am the only one contributing and have set the repository as private.

• However, the app was created from a react (ionic) template. This template was not created by me but by other contributors (from react and ionic teams). However, this template is open-source.

• I cloned this template, set the repository as private and added my contribution on top of it.

My question is: is this private repository where I am the only one contributing, but which is based on an open-source contribution, valid for the Hobby license?

I am asking because SmartGit is willing to check the repository. I suppose it has detected more than one contributor (i.e. me + the react app template authors) in my private repository. 

Thanks in advance for your answer,

Kind regards,

Bruno

Hi Bruno,

The SmartGit hobby license only works if

- you are the only committer in the repository or
- the repository is open source on a common hosting provider like github or gitlab.

You need to convert it to a single-author repository:
