Readme say BSD-style license; LICENSE is ZLib #28

Closed Zac-HD closed 8 years ago

Zac-HD commented 8 years ago

It's not entirely wrong, but calling it the Zlib license in the readme would be a lot clearer.

wjakob commented 8 years ago

ha, interesting! I must admit I just copied it from somewhere. So what's the difference between the BSD and zlib licenses? I googled but can't find anything conclusive. (I'm trying to decide whether to just fix the documentation or change the LICENSE.txt file)

ok, awesome -- I like that website :).

I switched to BSD 3-clause.

mrzv commented 8 years ago

One small suggestion. My employer uses a BSD 3-clause license, but they add an extra paragraph at the end to simplify dealing with contributions. For example: https://github.com/diatomic/diy2/blob/master/LICENSE.txt I'm referring to the very last paragraph (about "Enhancements").

That is an excellent idea -- done, thanks!
