Align License rp_module_licence format to RetroPie-Setup #162

Closed Gemba closed 4 months ago

This aligns the license header information from rp_module_licence= to be more RetroPie-Setup alike by using the same key for commonly used licences.

BTW: Is there a reason you put this repo at MIT licence while the RetroPie-Setup uses GPL3? Why not relicence to GPL3 as it grants more freedom?

The repo license came with the fork, as originally penned by ZeroJay.

The one at RetroPie is a lot more...specific. This one is much simpler to understand, at least. I absolutely do not know which one is "better" or if it's even allowed to just "relicense" the work that was originally made by someone else. If the idea is to grant "more freedom," wouldn't it have to be the initial license holder ZJ who does that?

Makes sense. Changed four modules to have the license referenced the "RetroPie-way".
