From 03d3c8c42a71d826548a72670da05d0c56a9a6fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Conrad Hoffmann Date: Fri, 3 Mar 2023 09:54:21 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Update LICENSE All source files have headers designating them as Apache-2.0-licensed. The `LICENSE` file however contains the text of the LGPL 3. This causes e.g. Github to declare the project as being LGPL licensed and also causes problems for packagers who need to figure out the project's license. Since the `LICENSE` file seems to be a remnant of a distant past, update it to contain the Apache license, which seems to be what the project is intended to be licensed under.
