From 27232a9fa26c2320e344e37b95bb46a89fa33257 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Kao Date: Thu, 31 May 2018 17:42:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] edit MariaDB license info so that GitHub recognizes it GitHub uses a library called Licensee to identify a project's license type. It shows this information in the status bar and via the API if it can unambiguously identify the license. This commit modifies a few of MariaDB's docs so that Licensee is able to recognize the repository's license type. It renames the README's "License" section to "Licensing" and renames COPYING.thirdparty to THIRDPARTY. These changes allow Licensee to bypass both files when it scans the repo for license files, which thus allows Licensee to successfully identify the license type of MariaDB as GPL 2.0.
