From 49fa75195322e47114d2f5effb0e87f433c275f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Pappacoda Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2022 21:32:11 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] chore: use MIT license for appstream metadata The Appstream metadata file introduced in commit 335612cfa4ea090874354c7080f492b2b28a136b has been submitted as licensed under the CC0-1.0 license. People generally use the CC0-1.0 to put the file in the "public domain", but this isn't actually possible in lots of countries, so the file ends up being licensed under CC0's fallback permissive license; unfortunately, the fallback license contains some terms that are seen as problematic to some (notably, Fedora has recently decided to consider the license pretty much non-free). As foot is already MIT-licensed, and since this license is in the list of allowed [metadata licenses], this patch changes the license of the metadata file from CC0-1.0 to MIT.
