Looks like you've produced nice tool many are finding value in, @johnpbloch.

I come from a JS development background and, as I work on my first WordPress plugin, have been noticing some licensing snafus I believe to be rooted in two things:

  1. WordPress not making the switch to GitHub with the rest of the modern universe.
  2. WordPress Foundation's intolerance for leaving license related questions open on the forums.

As a result of some of the licensing issues I've seen I've left some guidance on what I feel the proper structure should be for WP tools and the applications which used them to build themes and plugins here: xwp/wp-dev-lib#240 (comment)

And here's the most current, usable and authoritative reference I've found regarding licensing during my recent searches: https://choosealicense.com/licenses/

Sigh. No one reads.

No, I'm just uninterested in making the change you've suggested. Several of my open source packages are licensed under MIT. I know the license, I understand it. I specifically chose GPLv2+ for this project because I wanted it.
