Is this ever going to get pulled or should @skyboy's fork be the only place for active development?

@simon816 If @skyboy wanted to he could include a LICENSE file with the source code and include the terms of the license extracted from the official forums authored by @powercrystals:

License (all mods)
Free for non-commercial use. You are free to include any of my mods in any modpacks or server-specific packs without needing to ask permission (but it'd be nice to hear if you do!), provided something either in the download or on your site lists me as the creator. You are also free to produce Bukkit ports. A link to this thread would be nice for any of the above, but that's all I ask.

You also have implied permission to build mods that depend on PowerCrystalsCore, if you want some of the functionality in there.

I would probably modify it slightly for inclusion on GitHub and include relevant credits in a README.

Copyright 2014 PowerCrystals and contributors

Free for non-commercial use. You are free to include this mod in any modpacks or server-specific packs provided the above copyright notice is maintained. You are also free to produce Bukkit ports.

With that said, if this repository is no longer active, I think the absolute best course of action would be to contact @powercrystals and see if there's an open source license such as the MIT license that he/she would be willing to apply to the project. I know I'm not a contributor at all, but I do have interest in bettering the open source community. I'll see what I can do to get in contact with @powercrystals.

Though I'm not exactly active anymore I still get notifications from this tracker (and then immediately ignore them), so congratulations on successfully if perhaps inadvertently contacting me. For your actual question, the MIT license would be fine by me. I am not going to do any further commits one way or the other though so as to avoid giving people hope that I'm returning, so hopefully this comment is sufficient because there will never be a LICENSE or README in any of these repositories. If not, uh, oh well?

@powercrystals Thanks for that comment! I know the community really appreciates your contributions and I'm personally really glad to see that you're providing permission to apply the MIT license to your work. I'll migrate this conversation to the appropriate repo (skyboy/MineFactoryReloaded).

I went ahead and made a pull request for the addition of README/LICENSE files for the sake of clarity and to (hopefully) redirect future visitors the appropriate repo. If you change your mind about adding those, I wanted to make it as effortless as possible for you.

Thanks again!
