A New license drafted by Katt Gu & Suji Yan

Browse Source 
This version of 996 License is drafted by [Katt Gu, J.D, University of Illinois, College of Law](https://scholar.google.com.sg/citations?user=PTcpQwcAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao); advised by [Suji Yan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tedkoyan/), CEO of [Dimension](https://www.dimension.im).

This draft is adapted from the MIT license. For more detailed explaination, please see [Wiki](https://github.com/kattgu7/996-License-Draft/wiki). This license is designed to be compatible with all major open source licenses. 

Since the working hour limit is almost included in the labor law of every country, it is better just saying compliance with labor law rather then saying the hours, cuz I believe what those companies do is more than force their employees to work overnight. For countries with no labor law or where the labor law is not enforceable (like most authoritarian countries), core international labor standards is the internationally agreed minimum standards.

For more details about International Labor Law, please check [International Labour Orginazation](ilo.org) and [The WTO and International Labour Organization](https://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/coher_e/wto_ilo_e.htm).

For law professionals or anyone who are willing to contribute to further version directly, please go to [996-License-Draft](https://github.com/kattgu7/996-License-Draft). Thank you.
