Asm-Dom – WebAssembly Virtual DOM

Re:Asm-Dom – WebAssembly Virtual DOM by masklinn on Saturday May 20, 2017 @03:50PM (#14384041)

I was going to say that the API is almost identical to Snabbdom's and ask whether that was voluntary or an independent reinvention, but given how similar the "inline example" is[0][1] (down to the comments) I assume either snabbdom was used as a starting point or the inspiration is very much wilful?

They both have the MIT license, which may be a so-called “permissive” licence, but it does require attribution. Did they base asm-dom on Snabbdom? That’s perfectly fine. Did they remove the copyright notice? That’s illegal.

Is in the example the usual place to put this?

This is the license of the example project, the license of asm-dom is in the root dir

Shouldn't the license be in every file?

The only reason to put the license in every file is if the "project" is really a loose collection of independent files, or if you stay up at night fearing a madman on the loose randomly downloads and reuses single files from your projects.

MIT specifically calls out that the notice must be included in copies of "substantial portions" of the software which makes no sense if the entirety of the notice is already part of every file.

> The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

In the "How to apply this license" section it is not mentioned https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/

If someone has more information or links about that, please let me know
