Due to a desire to respect the open source community and a recent attempt by a previously potential business partner to take things over at FGM and completely close-source FearlessCMS, I have decided to re-license FearlessCMS under the GPL 2.0 license. This ensures the project will stay open source, regardless of whatever else happens.
The project was started partly as a response to a certain person behind a well known CMS disrespecting the open source community. i won't be guilty of doing the same thing. So it's now under a GPL license.
Why MIT was initially chosen over GPL
MIT is generally seen as a more business-friendly license. I thought it might encourage more businesses to use the project. I didn't expect someone to claim to be helping FGM to try to take it over.
This person is no longer associated with FGM. But moving forward, the GPL will ensure that this project stays open source.
