Description
GitHub uses a library called Licensee to identify a project's license
|
type. It shows this information in the status bar and via the API if it
|
can unambiguously identify the license.
|
|
This commit modifies a few of MariaDB's docs so that Licensee is able
|
to recognize the repository's license type. It renames the README's
|
"License" section to "Licensing" and renames COPYING.thirdparty to
|
THIRDPARTY.
|
|
These changes allow Licensee to bypass both files when it
|
scans the repo for license files, which thus allows Licensee to
|
successfully identify the license type of MariaDB as GPL 2.0.
