From cd10166b5eccac1b8cf510a7c97544d1697fbd09 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: FRIGN Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2016 13:05:37 +0200 Subject: Simplify LICENSE wording Now, before you call your lawyers, here is some explanation: The MIT/X Consortium-License and ISC-License are equivalent according to the Berne-convention. This means that a court of law presented with either licenses will act the same. The advantage of the ISC license is that it has a simpler wording and is recommended by the OpenBSD-project for new projects[0]. And as we at suckless.org love removing cruft, this also includes removing legal cruft wording that is not needed any more.
