Update License.txt #1

Closed jfiuza closed 8 years ago

Thanks for the library. I wanted to use this library in my company but the license is not standard. There is indication of: "free of charge" or "without restriction, including without limitation..rights to…publish, distribute, sublicense and/or sell" in the license. If your intention is to give it free of charge then how about using MIT or Apache, or just stating these terms?

Many thanks, Joao

Howdy. Glad the library has been useful to you.

The license is the standard two-clause bsd license: https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause

A quick rundown of the licence:

You're free to do whatever you want with the software, you can include it in software you make money with, you can change it any way you want and you don't have to tell me. If it breaks or kills someone, I'm not responsible:

I'm a big fan of bsd software which is why I tend to use their license. Does that work for you?

Yes that is enough. Thanks! I did not know which license type, since the license does not have its own name so I assumed it was personal. Maybe just reference the name of the license so people know. ex. https://github.com/moq/moq4/blob/master/License.txt
