Guidance on Licensing and Attribution for Ported Clojure Code

Question

Hi,

Basilisp is a broadly compatible Clojure implementation that runs on the Python VM.

I have ported the full source code of clojure.pprint to Basilisp as a standalone external library, while a native implementation is being developed.

https://github.com/ikappaki/basilisp-pprint

In the README.md file, I have included the original copyright notice and the attribution to the authors (Rich and Tom Faulhaber), along to the exact GitHub link to the original Clojure source code that this port was based on. The license is EPL 1.0.

Could you please advise if there's anything more I need to consider regarding licencing and attribution, assuming I am free to copy the code under these condition in the open source spirit?

Thank you

Answer 1

I can't give you legal advice and really reading the license is the best way to know what you're supposed to do, but those seem like correct steps.

Thanks Alex. I was just double checking to see if I might have overlooked anything really obvious, particularly concerning the attribution, using common sense.
