From 1e14f67953c2ee72c816e97bcce93a273be487d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xiao Pan Date: Thu, 15 May 2025 18:20:05 -0700 Subject: The software is licensed under GPL-2.0-or-later 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. --- README.md | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'README.md') diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index d6c06f1..bef9e87 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -1,5 +1,7 @@ work in progress +The software is licensed under GPL-2.0-or-later.
