Double license files causes problems with git on Windows #37

Currently there are two license files: LICENSE.txt and license.txt. The identical (except for case) names are not compatible with the Windows file system, which causes git to merge them (or at least that's what seems to have happened for me), and then say that they have been modified.

I'd suggest either combining the two files, or moving the smaller license.txt into the license section of the readme.

thanks, haven't noticed that.

Did you by any chance have issues with the pandorabox-mods repo lately? There are now symlinks in there for the cool_trees modpack, i wonder how that works on a windows system...

Those didn't work for me, they just appeared as files without extensions, but I created my own symlinks to them, so wasn't much of a problem. (I actually symlink all of the mods to each world's mod folder anyway)
