From 067147a0cce2ffe3b5e263c1810ccfec1fbe73bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Kao Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 17:20:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] edit InfluxDB license info so that GitHub recognizes it GitHub uses a library called Licensee to identify a project's license type. It shows this information in the status bar and via the API if it can unambiguously identify the license. This commit renames LICENSE_OF_DEPENDENCIES.md to DEPENDENCIES.md, which allows Licensee to ignore the file when checking the repository's license type. It also adds a "Licensing" section to the README so that users will understand the intent of the DEPENDENCIES.md file. Collectively, these changes allow Licensee to successfully identify the license type of InfluxDB's codebase as MIT. I also updated the license info for Opentracing-Go, which is now Apache-licensed and no longer MIT-licensed.
