Hi,

The license at line 190 ( https://github.com/Tehreer/SheenBidi/blob/master/LICENSE#L190 ) contains the blueprint fields for the year of copyright and the copyright owner. I've noticed that https://spdx.org/licenses/Apache-2.0.html suggests to fill the fields. I couldn't find an open or closed ticket about this. I wonder: is this on purpose?

Best Robert

Hi Muhammad,

ok, clear.

At the moment, there is nothing I can tell you about the usage of SheenBidi within TomTom.

Best, Robert

Hi Muhammed,

TomTom is using SheenBidi for a mapdisplay engine.

Best, Robert
