[GIthub] Package that is not open source but with Public Visibility?
Hello, I want to create a small library as a package (lets say nuget or unity package manager), However I dont want my code to be open source (distributed as assembly
.dll) with Public Repository in Github. Is it legal to do this?17 Replies
I don't see any legal stuff about that.
are you asking if it's legal to make a library without a public GitHub repo?
or do you want to make a public repo that is open to contributions
I want to host a library/package, but the library/package is closed source. we can do it in C# by using
DLL, so other developers cannot peek into it at the moment
the Github Repo will be Public, so they can import the plugin for they own use
that would be... ?It's fine.
have you seen any similar case to this?
Closest is just a repository with documentation.
so you havent encounter a public repo with closed source files...?
Repository with documentation usually only stores readme, documentation website files.
But my case, I also host the source code (that is closed)
If you put the source code into a public repository it's going to be publicly visible.
thats okay, because the source code is in
.dll formatThen it's not source code, it's binary.
well I couldnt say its a source code too.
It's a compiled C# Library in a dynamic link library format
Still it's a binary.
that would be okay?
It's fine.
have you seen any similar case to this?
Yes
Not sure why you think this would be a legal issue
Its just me havent seen anything like this
Alright, from this conversation I got several Ideas. thanks @Anu6is @Lê Duy Quang
