[Not A Bug] Question about the License and Legal Section in the Readme

[pairofdocs]

Hello,

I was interested in this project, was looking around and noticed a conflict in the 'legal' docs. This is not a big issue for me I think that the most recent doc, the README, has more weight than the LICENSE file. Maybe this can be improved/ clarified.

https://github.com/diasurgical/devilution/blob/master/LICENSE#L3-L5 from 2018 Anyone is free to copy, modify, publish, use, compile, sell, or distribute this software ... for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial...

vs

https://github.com/diasurgical/devilution/blob/master/README.md#L120 https://github.com/diasurgical/devilution/blob/master/README.md#legal from 2020 The source code in this repository is for non-commerical use only. If you use the source code you may not charge others for access to it or any derivative work thereof.

I originally released the project under no license (a.k.a Un-license) because I wasn't sure how to license the code. We later had clarification and decided to specify the code should not be used for commercial purposes since it is based on Blizzard's original code. More specifically devilution is a preservation of the original code under the interoperability clause, so technically it's being provided purely for academic/research purposes.

Gotcha. Should the License file be updated so that the message is consistent with the Readme?

[AJenbo]

yes
