LICENSE file not detected by GitHub #236

Description

@braboj

Severity: minor

Expected

GitHub should detect and display CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0 in the About section.

Actual

GitHub shows "Other" — the license is not recognized.

Root cause

  • File is LICENSE.md instead of LICENSE
  • Contains a human-readable summary, not the full standard legal text

Fix

  1. Rename LICENSE.md to LICENSE
  2. Replace contents with the full CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0 legal text from https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode.txt

Environment

Production (GitHub)
