From 845cb7cc5d9cc0b5978c7debfde4625d2b0a7bf7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnout Engelen Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2020 14:50:04 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Clarify in README.txt that GPLv3 'or later' is compatible Currently, the README just refers to COPYING for licensing information, but COPYING just contains the GPLv3, and doesn't specify whether redistribution under later versions of the GPL is also allowed. The source files all clearly specify that redistribution under later versions of the GPL is indeed allowed, so it might be nice to also make that obvious in the README? --- README.txt | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.txt b/README.txt index 9715da7..936184a 100644 --- a/README.txt +++ b/README.txt @@ -1,5 +1,9 @@ FLAM3 - cosmic recursive fractal flames -see the file COPYING for the license covering this software. + +This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify +it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by +the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or +(at your option) any later version.
