Libwhisker license information #806

Closed xambroz closed 8 months ago

xambroz commented 9 months ago

Hello, https://github.com/sullo/nikto/wiki/Nikto-Licensing there is some wrong information published about the embedded libwhisker perl library. It is stated that the license is also GPL, but it is actually BSD-2-Clause the SPDX short name.

I would recommend adding some relevant license file, like COPYING.libwhisker2 , so it can be easily used by the software packagers.

Nikto version

2.5.0

Thanks for pointing this out.

I've updated the documentation page and added COPYING.LibWhisker per suggestion.
