Missing license text for BSD-3-Clause

[musicinmybrain]

The BSD-3-Clause license states that the copyright notice, list of conditions and disclaimer must be reproduced in all source and binary distributions. Since no license text appears in this repository or in the released crate, it’s not possible to comply with the license stated in Cargo.toml:

rust-circular-buffer/Cargo.toml

Line 7 in 8d4b633

license = "BSD-3-Clause"

Please add the necessary license text, preferably in a file called LICENSE.

This should be important for all potential users; it’s important for me so I can add a rust-circular-buffer package to Fedora Linux without guessing at the correct license text.

Hi, thanks for reporting this. This is so embarrassing, I never noticed that I forgot to add the licensing information until now. This is now fixed, and I'll make a minor release soon with these changes.

If you need this to be released by a specific date, let me know and I'll try to accommodate it

Thanks for dealing with this! Missing license text is a surprisingly common oversight.

I don’t have a hard deadline. I’m trying to get the dependencies ready so https://github.com/Netflix/bpftop can be packaged in Fedora. If you’re planning a release in the next few weeks, I think I’ll wait for the release. If it will be longer than that, I’ll probably patch 0.1.5 to include the license text you added so that the bpfman effort can progress.

Version 0.1.7 has been released with (hopefully) correct licensing information. Thanks again for reporting this!
