Rename the COPYING file to LICENSE #8

Closed s3rvac closed 4 years ago

s3rvac commented 4 years ago

Reasons:

  1. We have a LICENSE-THIRD-PARTY file, so having a LICENSE file makes more sense in terms of uniformity.
  2. We use a LICENSE file in our other projects (e.g. RetDec itself uses a LICENSE file).

Unless there is a specific reason for having a COPYING file, like Radare2 requiring all plugins to have that file... If there is, please do let me know.

The name COPYING was chosen just because of the transition to LGPLv3. GNU license recommends using COPYING name for the license and when I've renamed the file, to be honest, I was just experimenting with the GitHub's features. Speaking for myself I don't find much of a difference between the COPYING and LICENSE name but you are right that it might look more uniformed with LICENSE-THIRD-PARTY and therefore I have no objections to changing the name back to the LICENSE.
