Unlicensed software is nonfree software... could we get a COPYING? :)

The LICENSE file is down in the markdown collection directory. This means it is copied by raco pkg install.

Having said that, it looks like the copyright date needs updating in the LICENSE file of a few of my Racket packages.

@greghendershott Ah okay, thanks! I guess I'm not used to it being in that location... toplevel is usually where I look. (Maybe a relative symlink would help people like me find it?)

greghendershott commented 9 years ago

@cwebber I know what you mean. In fact in some older repos, that predate Racket's new package manager, I do have it at the top.

I seem to recall reading that sym links and git don't play well? But I don't know.

I could at least link to the LICENSE in the README.md.

@greghendershott: git is fine with symlinks: GitHub might not be but that seems unlikely.

cwebber commented 9 years ago

git is indeed fine with symlinks, and iirc so is github.

Thanks, that's good to know. But how about Windows? Example of what I'd read: Git Symlinks in Windows.

Although I rarely use Windows these days except to test things, I try to support it. At least not knowingly de-support it. :) For example Frog is supposed to work for Windows users; it depends on this markdown parser package.

Would one of you like to make the change, test this on Windows and submit a pull request? :)

I don't have access to Windows any more, but it sounds like a good reason to avoid symlinks!
