Discussion on: Why I added licenses to my Udacity projects

It should be sufficient. Do you know what I found two days after adding the first license in one README of a project? Yes, one person already broke it and remove my name after copying my project.

After that, I added the license to all files. As you can imagine, just since I added them 2 weeks ago, I already found my project cloned, with licenses removed but with some files that still had them! 🕵️‍♀️

You can add the license to the files you want. Or not add them. As you wish. All I want is to warn and let them know that plagiarism has consequences.

Licenses don't harm if you're using my Udacity projects to learn 😊

Oh wow!
I just did a quick search with a line from your license and found a few projects that aren't forks that still have that line.
