H A D | License.md | dc55ffb419c20b8265b42cf76e3bb28ca91b2f7f Fri Jul 29 21:28:38 UTC 2016 Augustin Cavalier <waddlesplash@gmail.com> LICENSE: Rename to License.md, and remove all licenses but the MIT.
This file was introduced with the rationale that bots attempt to scrape GitHub repositories for license data. GitHub now has an API for this, and since all its sniffer rules fail because this file is not identical to any known license, it just marks it "Other" and includes the full text anyway.
Since this is the case, nobody else wants to look at all the licenses in a single monolithic file, so we just put the explanatory message and a reference to the directory containing all the licenses at the top of the file, and include only the MIT license.
Also, GitHub renders Markdown nicer than it does plain text, so use that (which matches what we already do for READMEs.)
