Statement from Schmidt Sciences:
Schmidt Sciences expects that any code from projects funded by Schmidt Sciences be released as open source under an OSI-approved permissive license (such as Apache v2.0 or MIT). We recommend that projects avoid using GPL due to known complexities associated with it. We encourage projects to publish data used for peer-reviewed scientific articles along with the code used to produce the results. Additionally, we recommend avoiding any license modifications for simplicity, and alignment with standard practices.
