Documentation of license through Github? #1181

Banner of README lists GPL V2. If that is correct, maybe consider adding license to GitHub repo directly?

Insights tab of mrgsolve repo >> Community Standards >> License

Hi @Andy00000000000 -

Thanks for the question:

Banner of README lists GPL V2. If that is correct

The license is stated in the DESCRIPTION file and R provides a copy of that license.

You can get this information programmatically

> packageDescription("mrgsolve", fields="License")
[1] "GPL (>= 2)"

and you can have R show you that license

RShowDoc("GPL-2")

So it should be clear from there what the license is.

I did add a LICENSE.md file so GitHub can understand the license; but I think the one that matters is DESCRIPTION.
