From 931641ed2c1a1a85af698f227d56ae96b381e0d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Brown Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2022 12:23:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Tweaked license and readme text Updated license copyright line to better help it be detected as MIT by automatic license systems (Such as GitHub license detection) while removing contributors link which would not actually list all contributors. Also added year range back in to be more specific about active lifetime. --- LICENSE | 3 +-- readme.md | 6 ++---- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/LICENSE b/LICENSE index 0ec2e91ab..5b3d8699a 100644 --- a/LICENSE +++ b/LICENSE @@ -1,7 +1,6 @@ The MIT License (MIT) -Copyright (c) 2015-present, Dan Brown and the BookStack Project contributors -https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/graphs/contributors +Copyright (c) 2015-2022, Dan Brown and the BookStack Project contributors.
