Place Proper Licensing on all Files #20

Closed Phantom139 closed 9 years ago

Phantom139 commented 9 years ago

This is a kind of important-ish item that should be done at the earliest convenience. Since the engine is released fully open source now and under the MIT license, the source code files should be adjusted to reflect these changes.

Here's what should be placed at the top of each file:

XX.XX
Y

Where X.X is the file name & extension, Y is a description of the file, and Z is the year of copyright.

Alternatively you could probably just say to refer to something like LICENSE.txt like I've been doing.

"This software is licensed under the MIT license. Please refer to MIT.txt for more information." This way your source files are a bit smaller and it accomplishes the same task anyway.

Started doing this in fb486fa. Going to complete issue #27, and then this.

Phantom139 commented 9 years ago

Done.
