@basit-tkxel So CurrikiStudio owns the copyright of SimpleMultipleChoice now?

@basit-tkxel You're not the copyright holder. You cannot decide what license the code will be licensed under. I assume that the MIT license is okay here though.

More importantly, however: If you're adding the license, why are you naming CurrikiStudio as the copyright holder and not Joubel AS / H5P / H5P who are the rightful copyright holders?

@otacke because we have made a derivative work

@basit-tkxel You have not. https://github.com/ActiveLearningStudio/h5p-simple-multiple-choice/tree/master is referencing an old state of this original repository without any changes except for the license change. You may have built something on top of that.

Let's assume I am wrong. Let's assume you have created a derivative work. Then please answer this question: The original repository does not give away any license information. How did you then know that you're even allowed to do that? Code is not public domain by default if there's no license information given, is it?

And let's also assume that I am wrong here, too. Let's assume you had rightfully created a derivative work. Don't you think it would be quite audacious to not even list the original author?
