Use the license of the combined software #105

pngquant-bin includes and redistributes GPL-licensed pngquant.

Even though the wrapper code may itself be MIT, I think marking the whole package with pngquant inside as MIT gives false impression that it can be used in MIT terms.

I think the current license is actually misleading and we should respect the author's intention. Any thoughts @sindresorhus?

sindresorhus commented 4 years ago

I agree, but we need to remove the "License" section from the readme and also update the "license" file in the repo.

1000ch commented 4 years ago

Then, I'm going to take over the task.

@kornelski Will it be fine to create the license file by reuse COPYRIGHT file in pngquant repo and add also Imagemin's copyright? #113

kornelski commented 4 years ago

Yes, that's great. Thank you.
