License¶
This project would not have been possible without the initial implementation(s) done by:
- martint/s3fs (initial implementation,
Apache 2.0
) - Upplication/Amazon-S3-FileSystem-NIO2 (fork with fixes, mainly
Apache 2.0
, but someMIT
as well) - Other forks (only ones licensed under
Apache 2.0
orMIT
)
We are grateful to both the main authors and all of the contributors that helped shape the initial implementation that we are building on top of. Without their hard work, this library would not exist.
As explained in #2, martint/s3fs's project was under an Apache 2.0 license. However, it is unclear whether it's a matter of a mistake that in Javier Arnáiz's fork (under the Upplication/Amazon-S3-FileSystem-NIO2, the license is defined as MIT, while at the same time the project's pom.xml
still defines the license as being under Apache 2.0. This appears to have caused confusion for other forkers as well and some of them have come to the conclusion that it would be better off to dual-license the project.
As MIT is a permissive license, and, since Apache 2.0 has not been removed as such from Upplication/Amazon-S3-FileSystem-NIO2, the entire current and future codebase of s3fs-nio
will also be dual-licensed under both Apache 2.0 and MIT and, any developers wishing to use our library, will be free to choose which of the two license would work for them.
