+ [2019-03-17T20:03:07Z] Oberon4278 How difficult is it to change my project's license after I start the project? I don't anticipate that anyone but me will interact with it before I find out if I have to change the license.
+ [2019-03-17T20:05:40Z] nedbat Oberon4278: there's no formal procedure, just change it.
+ [2019-03-17T20:05:52Z] nedbat Oberon4278: the old version of the code is still available under the old license.

+ [2019-03-18T13:26:14Z] m_ben I cloned a github project and whenever I run git pull I get an error "fatal: refusing to merge unrelated history". I didn't make any local changes to the project. I just want to update. when I compare the commit hashes from my local cloned repo and the github version, they are suddenly different. the messages itself are the same. why is that happening?
+ [2019-03-18T19:29:36Z] Richard_Cavell Hello everyone. I have a github project and github has incorrectly identified which language the project is in. Can this be changed?
+ [2019-03-18T19:36:25Z] nedbat Richard_Cavell: i don't think you can affect it. What language is it, and what did GitHub think it was?
+ [2019-03-18T19:41:06Z] Richard_Cavell https://github.com/richardcavell/sorcery It's BASIC but github is seeing the makefile as the primary thing I suppose.
+ [2019-03-18T19:42:09Z] nedbat Richard_Cavell: well, the Makefile is 25 times longer than the BASIC. You have much more make than basic.
