Sometimes you've got to work through the s*** to find a gem.
It's up to you. If you don't mind investing the time (and inevitable late nights and ridiculous deadlines), then go for it.
If there are more sane internships out there though, maybe look at those? I can foresee paranoid conversations about people stealing your GIT repo or something. That would be enough for me to table flip the fuck out of there. -
Prepare a small paper before you decide, to try and clear things up.
1) git works offline, and won't make your stuff open unless you want to (and even if it did, you have copyright on your side, accidental release doesn't let other use it). Bring up high profile users.
2) compile what you can and cannot do with the license, bring up other high profile users of the framework.
3) Ask how much it's worth to them, you can most likely negotiate a reasonable salary, or do it as contract work. -
@ChrisCooney he mistook github's public repositories to be the eternity of GIT.
-
@ChlorideCull being an intern, is that an option? I mean when you have a job, you get to negotiate a list of responsibilities and tasks you are supposed to do and the equivalent they pay. But, for internships, it's more like a "come, work for me free" thing.
That's just what I experienced today. Would love to know what is the scenario at your place? -
@mcraz Run.

@mcraz Even interns can get paid. If you're an intern, you're really supposed to be learning from others in the industry, how things are in the real world, but if you're the only developer, you're just an unpaid employee.
Worst case scenario, you won't get an internship, but if you can't clear things up at this point I wouldn't take an internship there anyways. -

Run... the further, the better! RUN!!!
This MBA CEO probably doesn't know the first thing about what it takes to develop software. If he wants to dictate how you plan on storing your source code - sorry, the company's source code - without even consulting you on the options... Pffft!Same goes for licensing of open source software... C'mon!
And, to add to that, he just wants cheap labour... the money that he saves by not paying you a decent salary is going to spent on his expensive whiskey and rounds of golf with fellow MBA wanker friends.
This is no small feat he is asking you tackle one your lonesome. And if he plans on throwing peanuts at the cage, he will treat you like a monkey too!

For those of you who are having interviews ... remember this
Just came out of an internship interview with the CEO of the company, who's a computer graduate apart from being an MBA guy.
Few things bother me as to whether to join them or not?
1. He's scared of GIT.
-He's asked me not to use git because that will make the code public.
2. He's asked me not to use bootstrap.
-He's afraid it'll be a copyright violation.
3. Asked me to develop ERP/CRM for the company.
- I'll be the sole developer on the thing, developing a whole CRM with Project Management System. And the internship is "almost" unpaid. Almost because, they are willing to pay an amount equal to what I spend on my monthly caffeine drinks.
I'm in a rut whether to join this company or not, as this is don't see any learning here (being the sole developer). I'll be doing what I've been doing for years (develope a Web app) but for a fraction of what I get from freelancing.
But, I'd love a internship certificate to show at the campus placements later this year.
