From fd0192c134acd1d5037a9aa45ad7b5375c28c29c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Wong Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2012 21:19:44 +0000 Subject: README: clarify license and copyright Since Ruby 1.9.3, (Matz) Ruby is licensed under a 2-clause BSDL. Thus we need to clarify we inherited the license terms from Ruby 1.8 to prevent misunderstanding. (The Ruby license change cannot alter the license of other projects automatically) Since we added the GPLv3 as an additional license in 2011, the license terms of unicorn no longer matches Mongrel 1.1.5. This is NOT a change to the unicorn license at all, just a wording clarification. --- README | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/README b/README index 7152df8..5dde0d7 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -60,11 +60,11 @@ both the the request and response in between \Unicorn and slow clients. == License \Unicorn is copyright 2009 by all contributors (see logs in git). -It is based on Mongrel 1.1.5 and carries the same license. +It is based on Mongrel 1.1.5. +Mongrel is copyright 2007 Zed A.
