Well there's no license right now, which makes it non-open source software :) Regards Antoine. -- Software development and contracting: http://pro.pitrou.net

Should we add the MIT license to our benchmarks repo as well? cheers Antoine.

Note that not all benchmarks run nightly. twisted_accept for example run out of TCP connections. benchmarks.py is your helper. We improved the US runner qutie significantly (the main runner.py file), mostly by improving reporting. So it can save a .json file or upload stuff to a codespeed instance. Other than that, they all measure something. It's really up to you to decide which ones measure "something significant". Of course for our purposes benchmarks which require large libs are more interesting than others, but they all do something interesting. We removed those that we consider completely uninteresting.

The PyPy team need to put a clear license notice (similar to the one in the main pypy repo) on their benchmarks repo. But yes, I believe you're right that copying that code as it stands would technically be a copyright violation, even if the PyPy team intend for it to be allowed. If you're really concerned, check with Van first, but otherwise I'd just file a bug with the PyPy folks requesting that they clarify the licensing by adding a LICENSE file and in the meantime assume they intended for it to be covered by the MIT license, just like PyPy itself. The PSF license is necessary for CPython because of the long and complicated history of that code base. We can use simpler licenses for other stuff (like the benchmark suite) and just run with license in = license out rather than preserving the right for the PSF to change the license.
