This pull request updates the licensing of the
reactlogpackage, transitioning from GPL-3 to an MIT license. The changes simplify the licensing terms and remove detailed third-party license information, replacing it with a concise MIT license file.Licensing Changes:
Licensefield in theDESCRIPTIONfile to reflect the switch fromGPL-3toMIT + file LICENSE.LICENSEfile, which contained detailed references to third-party licenses, and replaced it with a simplified copyright notice.LICENSE.mdfile containing the full text of the MIT license.Why bumped the version to 2.0?
Migrating the license from GPL-3 to MIT is a significant change. While it doesn't necessarily break the code's API (meaning existing code using the library might still function without modification), it fundamentally changes the legal terms under which the software is distributed and can be used. GPL-3 is a strong copyleft license, while MIT is a permissive license. This change has major implications for downstream users, especially regarding how they can combine
reactlogwith other code.
