X11 vs MIT License #574

Closed carmiker closed 6 months ago

@LIJI32 I notice you've changed the license from MIT to X11, however there is an extra clause in the X11 license that was not added to the text in LICENSE and ios/License.html:

Ah, good catch, I got it mixed up with Expat (which doesn't have this extra clause), I'll have it fixed. Thanks!

@LIJI32 now you have the X11 license, but listed as Expat (except for LICENSE which is actually Expat). The other instances are now X11. Expat == MIT X11 == MIT + No Advertising clause (which results in more or less the same terms as the BSD 3-Clause)
