Ask HN: What are the legalities behind MIT library/software usage?

1 pointsby saradhiabout 5 years ago
I released (unpublished now) an Apache-2.0 library that provides a similar solution to another MIT licensed library. This ended up gaining some information &amp; the other&#x27;s perspective on it, because of HN users (Thread: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=22473263) mostly about the naming as well as the usage of the MIT licensed library.<p>With this thread, I&#x27;m trying to understand the restrictions and correct my knowledge. I&#x27;m a python developer, so, the examples used in the below content are Python libraries.<p>&gt; 1. GoogleMaps, an Apache-2.0 licensed python library, from Google, uses an open-sourced python library, requests, to communicate with the endpoint. What are the reserved rights of &#x27;requests&#x27; library author &amp; contributors over the GoogleMaps services<p>&gt; 2. tabula-py, an MIT licensed library uses another MIT licensed, pandas, to format the output. What are the reserved rights of &#x27;pandas&#x27; library author &amp; contributors over tabula-py services<p>&gt; 3. TabulaPro, an Apache-2.0 licensed python library, uses an MIT licensed library, tabula-py. What are the reserved rights of &#x27;tabula-py&#x27; or &#x27;tabula&#x27; library author &amp; contributors over tabulaPro services<p>TIA
