Changes

  • Switch to MIT license for NuGet packages

Details

There seems to be a disconnect between the license specified on NuGet packages and the actual license used by the code.

We are using these packages in OpenTelemetry and the recently introduced FOSSA scanning is reporting this as an issue.

Thanks for the PR @CodeBlanch. I think the license change should be fine, but the build error needs to be resolved.

This is not the right place to change package licensing. It's used only to produce the intermediate/internal package we use in the publishing process. We'll circle back to licensing once the complete source code is on GitHub.
