Description

Hi, I see that you've stated on the wiki page that the plugin is Released into the public domain. Would you consider adding an explicit license to the source code? Some guidelines can be found here: DevGuide#License. Trac is licensed using 3-Clause BSD, which make it a good choice for plugins in my opinion.

Thanks!

Before I go ahead and add it, would you consider ​this acceptable?

Well I'm no licensing expert. I've just found that no one has objected to the 3-Clause BSD license (whereas some object to contributing code to GPL-licensed projects), and having everything licensed as 3-Clause BSD allows copying code between plugins and Trac. It sounds like the unlicensed license would not impose any restrictions. As far as I know the ​3-Clause BSD would not either.

For unlicense / public domain, you could use ​this header.

Thanks. I uploaded the license and added an explanation on the page.
