What's the license of Yespower? #1

As in title, I cannot find in repo LICENSE file, nor in README mention of license.

I can see there are license conditions in source files, why not put them into separate LICENSE file?

The license is specified in comments in each individual source file. For yespower as a whole, it is 2-clause BSD as the strictest of those licenses. For some source files, the terms are relaxed to 0-clause BSD (the 2 clauses omitted, leaving only the permission notice).

I suppose it does make sense to also add a LICENSE file. I'll leave this issue open for that.
