* Change MIT license texts to SPDX-License-Identifier SPDX-License-Identifier is much easier to understand and grep than license text so use that instead. * Change GPL exception license texts to SPDX-License-Identifier SPDX-License-Identifier is much easier to understand and grep than license text so use that instead. * Change misc license texts to SPDX-License-Identifier There are some external code in repo which are not licenses as most of the stuff in this repo. We still want every file to have SPDX identifier to easily grep licenses. * Add currently used license files Even though Bacnet-Stack is using SPDX identifiers we still need to give those license files with source. For this reason add all license files to license/ folder. SPDX has also files which would make same thing but this is style which example Linux kernel is using and it is quite clear so I choose that one for now. I choosed not yet bring CC-PDDC as that is not right license for those files. --------- Co-authored-by: Kari Argillander <kari.argillander@fidelix.com>

Licenses for the BACnet Stack at SourceForge
|
|
|
|
This BACnet protocol stack implementation is specifically
|
|
designed for the embedded BACnet appliance, using a GPL with
|
|
exception license (like eCos), which means that any changes
|
|
to the core code that are distributed must be made available
|
|
in accordance with section (3) of the GNU General Public License.
|
|
However, the BACnet library can be linked to proprietary code
|
|
without the proprietary code becoming GPL.
|
|

Each file that is subject to the GPL uses the following text comment
