SBE specifications / FIX Simple Binary Encoding licensing #18

Closed 2pl closed 8 years ago

Hi, Can you please clarify the relationship between SBE specifications and FIX Simple Binary Encoding ? I was initially under the impression SBE and Fix Simple Binary Encoding are the same thing, but reading the License section in the readme they seem have different licensing.

SBE specifications are ©Copyright 2014-2016 FIX Protocol Limited.

FIX Simple Binary Encoding by FIX Trading Community is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License.

SBE is an abbreviation for Simple Binary Encoding. They are one and the same. I will update Readme to spell it out.

Thank you Don. My legal department was concerned about all or part of SBE not being covered by the Creative Commons license. Hopefully the updated Readme would reassure them.
