Per-file license / copyright header is inconsistent with overall repo license #136

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice.

First of all, thank you for open sourcing and sharing this project with us!

I wanted to point out that while your project repo is MIT-licensed, the per-file copyright header licenses are in conflict with that, as they say, e.g.:

https://github.com/tegonhq/tegon/blob/158b54af8d6f7cf4195c615510976b6025baef13/server/src/main.ts#L1

"All rights reserved" is very different from the MIT license.


For consistency, each file should have the MIT license at the top, e.g., in your case that would be something like:

// Copyright (c) 2024 Tegon

// Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy

We fixed this and removed the file-based license.
