Philosophy
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Requests was developed with a few :pep:`20` idioms in mind.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#. Beautiful is better than ugly.
|
|
#. Explicit is better than implicit.
|
|
#. Simple is better than complex.
|
|
#. Complex is better than complicated.
|
|
#. Readability counts.
|
|
|
|
All contributions to Requests should keep these important rules in mind.

Apache2 License
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
A large number of open source projects you find today are `GPL Licensed`_.
|
|
While the GPL has its time and place, it should most certainly not be your
|
|
go-to license for your next open source project.
|
|
|
|
A project that is released as GPL cannot be used in any commercial product
|
|
without the product itself also being offered as open source.
|
|
|
|
The MIT, BSD, ISC, and Apache2 licenses are great alternatives to the GPL
|
|
that allow your open-source software to be used freely in proprietary,
|
|
closed-source software.
