Re: [GNUnet-developers] license clarification webui

[Phil Buschmann]

Hi Nils and Christian,

Thanks a lot for your comments and help with the licensing. As Martin 
already wrote, the package.json entry will be changed. The MIT license 
is the default entry in the package.json.

About the header: I'm using a framework which auto-generated some scss
files. However, I changed some of them for design purposes. Am I 
generally able/allowed to prepend the header to these files? These 
files may contain auto-generated, "foreign" code.

Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Phil
