This is cool, but there is no LICENSE file putting this in DONT USE territory.

This has a license: https://github.com/skiptools/skipstone but it vendors the other repo according to the readme? I am super confused about how this would work.

The Xcode build plugin in the /skip repo uses the binary created by /skipstone (which is the repository that was just opened).

Thanks for pointing out that the /skip repo itself doesn't have a license. We'll fix that asap!

LGPL3 has now been added: https://github.com/skiptools/skip/commit/7ad94680a801ca393fe...

    Huh, what does one have to do to comply with the LGPL on iOS anyways?

    I'm sort of surprised that only the largest plan ($5000/month) and not the ($10/$500/$2,500/month plans) includes a license that doesn't involve figuring that nonsense out.

      Which non sense? The lesser GPL doesn’t mean you have to license your firstborn under the GPL license.

      I think it’s fair to milk enterprise companies that can’t read a FSF license. Otherwise the LGPL is fine.

      You aren't shipping the LGPL part of Skip with your app. It's a build tool.

      You don't need to worry about using (L)GPL build tools to produce non-GPL apps.

      You have nothing to worry about with this license unless you are forking the Skip build tool itself. You can't ship this build tool to the App Store anyway, it's a build tool and not code you run inside your app.
