If I'm reading the license, which the README says is MIT but actually is a modified version of the MIT license, correctly it means anything you publish that is created using the software has to be published under the MIT license.<p>"You must publish your work as open source under the very same conditions."<p><a href="https://github.com/javiereguiluz/easybook/blob/master/LICENSE.md" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/javiereguiluz/easybook/blob/master/LICENS...</a>
First, thank you all for your comments and suggestions.<p>1. You are right about the license. It’s (unintentionally) misleading. I’ll change it soon to pure MIT license.<p>2. @okal, @Turing_Machine: yes, ePub will be supported and more formats will follow.<p>3. @gnufs: it uses PrinceXML for PDF publishing because it’s, by far, the best library I’ve found for HTML to PDF conversion. Do you know any other free/open-source library with the same or superior features?<p>4. @mrleinad: yes, I’d love to use a shorter and cleaner URL; but it’s really tough to find a good and unregistered domain with the word “book”.
This seems perfect for a project I'm planning to start soon. Any chance of supporting epub/mobi formats in the near future? The licensing is also a concern. If the creator wanted a copyleft license, why not just go with the GPL with additional clauses? People already have certain expectations the moment they see a BSD or MIT license. Slightly misleading, if you ask me.
You should lose the -project part of the URL, and maybe brush up the UI for the webpage a bit. Other than that, sounds like an awesome app for writers.
