Under Which Open Source License Is This Released? #42

Closed mesheets closed 8 years ago

The GitHub project page indicates that libgit2sharp.nativebinaries is released under the MIT license.

However, the license bundled with the corresponding NuGet packages states that the license is GNU GPL 2.

Sonatype scans are detecting the license as GPL 2.0 and not the MIT license that is listed on the project home page.

Thank you!

This project, the source code contained in this repository, is MIT licensed.

The point of this project is to build libgit2, which is GPL2 with a linking exception. Thus the results that are produced (libgit2) are under its license.
