Add a clause missing from the X11 license file (2.37 KB, patch)
2017-07-20 11:44 UTC, Mark Otaris 		committed Details | Review

Description Mark Otaris 2017-07-20 04:00:21 UTC 
When creating a new project, one of the license choices offered is labelled "MIT/X11". The license that is actually inserted when this option is selected is the Expat license, not the X11 license.[1]

I suggest changing the label to "MIT/Expat" and renaming the files plugins/create-project/resources/mit_x11_full and plugins/create-project/resources/mit_x11_short.

The MIT/X11 variant is more common in our ecosystem, so I'd prefer to use that variant.

Have a patch?
