If you like stocks and are careful with the way you spend your money, you know how much time goes into buying shares of a stock. It’s tedious and I don’t have 24k for a Bloomberg terminal. Which led me to the idea during xmas break to spend the time creating my own terminal. I introduce you to “Gamestonk Terminal” (probably should’ve sent 1 tweet everyday to Elon Musk for copyrights permission eheh). In summary, the…

You may want to add a Dockerfile.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The MIT license is ‘allowed’. The code in itself is MIT licensed. It's just that, when compiled and linked against fuzzywuzzy, the aggregate work that results must be GPLed.

interesting: given that it may at any time hit that line of GPL'd code, your claim is that the rest of the code can be MIT licensed? i am not a lawyer but that sure seems like a borderline case at best.

The author can licence their source code however they want. The GPL doesn’t relicense other code either, it’s that the GPL asks you to additionally follow its terms for the whole resulting compiled distribution

I am giddy with excitement over this project! Thank you sexy_year for making this. Got any screen shots posted?

I am making a comment just so I will see the project later. Swamped at work but in a week when I have some free time... I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas with presents under the tree.

There is a "favorites" button right under the submission title, which you can then access through "favorite submissions" in your profile.

Looks awesome. I’d love to see some screen shots as I’m not that literate on the jargon
