I am the current maintainer (albeit, not a great one, but still a maintainer) the phashion ruby gem (https://github.com/westonplatter/phashion).

I was notified by a user that the current MIT license of phashion may conflict with the GPL 3.0 license of the pHash software included in it. The argument goes that since phashion includes the source code of pHash as apart of its distribution, it needs to also use the GPL 3.0 license.

My question ... is there a licensing conflict between phashion and pHash? If so, what are the options?

Other question ... are there any open source lawyers/organizations I could talk to for free?

NOTE - I realize I'm asking a legal/IP question. I will not treat comments or opinions as legal advice.

I start a new position (contract-to-hire) tomorrow.

What is important to you as your start a new position?

I am not a lawyer and respect those who are.

I oversee an open source project, https://github.com/westonplatter/phashion.

A person recently asked (https://github.com/westonplatter/phashion/issues/68) if the project needs to be licensed per GPLv3 to match the phash source code license, which is "included" in the library. By included, I mean that the ruby gem actually carries a copy of the phash source code in the source code. Said differently, phashion does NOT reference a locally installed version of phash.

My question, in order to legally adhere to the phash GPLv3, should I change the license to GPLv3?

PS - I will view all comments as opinions, and do expect them to embody or be intended as legal advice. Just looking for second person's perspective.

I paid for Github so that I could have private repos. Per Github's recent pricing changes, I'm content with the free tier (which now include private repos) and canceled the $7/month charge.

I don't want or the mentioned "advanced collaboration" tools.

You might be in the same boat.

I want a simple tool to help me prototype data tools that I build for myself and clients. I'm a fullstack/data engineer, not a designer so I don't have Adobe or Sketch.

I find myself using "google drawing", but wish I could drag'n'drop Bootstrap 4 elements into place without writing code.

I basically want the free version of Atom for UI prototyping.

Ideas? Links?

So here's the issue I have with hiring platforms, I often get paired with companies based on technical skills or industries I've worked within, but I really just want to work alongside people I share similar values with.

I'd love to find my next job through a platform that matches me with a company that aligns with my values.

For example:

- 12 month or more financial runway

- executives have strategic plan written out for profitability (ie, they're not just winging it)

- product decision makers say no to things, but also listen

- decisions made based on quantitative and qualitative analysis

- proactive communication culture

(PS - am I asking for too much in a 50-200 person company?)

Robinhood's mobile and web apps don't provide the P/L numbers I wanted and didn't display delta/theta, so I wrote a script.
