LICENSING CLEARANCE FOR LIBRARIES, THAT ARE RUNNING ON S.O.L.I.D. MVC MICRO-FRAMEWORK IN A WORDPRESS-KERNEL ENVIRONMENT
-------------------
The source code of PHP files, that sits under /Libraries/ folder of plugin that is running on MIT-licensed SolidMVC micro-framework,
are licensed under commercial-friendly MIT license by default.
1. If needed, the default MIT license can be overridden by one of copyleft licenses (i.e. AGPL) in open-source projects:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft , as long as original authors credential are left in the file header, if that is a file modification.
2. If needed, the default MIT license can be overridden by one of copyright licenses (i.e. CCL) in commercial projects:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright , as long as original authors credential are left in the file header, if that is a file modification.
================================================================================================================================================
CLEARANCE ON "NON-DERIVATIVE WORK OF WORDPRESS" FOR FILES INSIDE /LIBRARIES/ FOLDER:
1. The library class files - transpiler classes and files in sub-folders of /Libraries/ folders ARE NOT under plugin's global namespace,
and are loaded INDEPENDENTLY and INDIVIDUALLY by exact models, controllers, or library transpilers.
2. The transpilers are for "X library" rendering in "SolidMVC micro-framework" and is NOT derived from WordPress.
3. The "X library" is independent nor from "WordPress" nor from "SolidMVC micro-framework" and can be any collection of PHP code.
All libraries may be licensed on any license author wants, as long as original MIT header is kept on the top of the file, if that is one of MIT-licensed file modifications.
If some library file is i.e. AGPL-licensed or uses commercial license, then it should remain as AGPL-licensed or remain commercially licensed respectively.
================================================================================================================================================
NOTE FOR LIBRARY LICENSING OF EXACT PLUGIN:
For exact plugin licensing please check corresponding folder and license clearance file IN EXACT PLUGIN sub-folder.
================================================================================================================================================
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
1. In SolidMVC coding standard it is defined, that, despite that SolidMVC 'MainController' has a registration for .PO/.MO language files,
you should only use Unicode CLDR ("Key=>Value" pairs) language coding standard, that does not require your templates, library transpilers, models, views and controllers
to hook to WordPress core language processing functions.
Of course, nobody is stopping you from doing that, but then you may lose the licensing independence flexibility from WordPress core license, which is GPL.
2. The meta header of exact library transpiler or library sub-folder, may be overriding the default /Libraries/ directory licensing, which in this case is MIT.
