[crossfire] Additional git repo at SourceForge using MIT license

[Rick Tanner]

Hello,

I asked on IRC/Discord a few months ago, and no concerns were expressed 
at that time. So, now I am asking on the mailing list.

I am looking at setting up a 1.) new git repo at SourceForge for 
web/HTML content that is based on a Bootstrap template that is 2.) using 
a MIT license.

Any concerns or problems with either point 1 or 2?


Thank you.

I am looking at creating a new git repo at SF for some web content which uses a bootstrap template that was released under a MIT license. Does that present any conflict, problems, or headaches with any of the other open licenses already in use? Any problems in general with yet another license involved with the project?
