From 2176d573199ffb7ea933f879706dfe93522df5ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Geoffrey Huntley Date: Wed, 2 May 2018 09:00:46 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] feature: what if we were licensed under MIT? (#1602) I keep getting reports from folks who want to contribute but their employer has a restrictive list of pre-approved licenses and MSPL isn't on that list. What if we enabled those to help us? Much easier than making them go through internal corporate bs. --- LICENSE | 68 +++++++++++---------------------------- src/Directory.build.props | 2 +- 2 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 51 deletions(-) diff --git a/LICENSE b/LICENSE index 9573cdee39..984713a496 100644 --- a/LICENSE +++ b/LICENSE @@ -1,55 +1,23 @@ -Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL) +The MIT License (MIT) -This license governs use of the accompanying software.
