2025-05-15Change license from GPL-2.0-or-later to GPL-3.0-or-laterXiao Pan
I just realized I can use GPL-3.0-or-later. I prefer GPL-3.0-or-later over GPL-2.0-or-later. And libssh's LGPL-2.1-or-later, plplot's LGPL-2.0-or-later, and gtk's LGPL-2.1-or-later licenses are compatible with GPL-3.0-or-later.
2025-05-15The software is licensed under GPL-2.0-or-laterXiao Pan
The software is licensed under GPL-2.0-or-later. But list.c and list.h contain source code I edited from book "C Primer Plus" Chapter17 practice problem 2 which contain codes from its example codes, and the author of "C Primer Plus" does not have a license for list.c and list.h, so the author of "C Primer Plus" has the copyright on list.c and list.h, so list.c and list.h can be considered non-free close souce proprietary code. I choose GPL-2.0-or-later. Because I prefer GPL over LGPL. And because libssh's LGPL-2.1-or-later, plplot's LGPL-2.0-or-later, and gtk's LGPL-2.1-or-later licenses are compatible with GPL-2.0-or-later. This commit also clarify licensing by copy the GPL-2.0-or-later license to LICENSE file, adding notes in README.md, and adding SPDX-License-Identifier and other licensing comment in source code files.
