From 8ece626388ae82d8f06e572fea0fd01729a5ad03 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Kao Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2018 15:40:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] edit Serverless 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 updates the LICENSE file so that it contains only the full text of the MIT license. The info that pertains to 3rd-party software licensing has now been moved to a "Licensing" section in the README. Collectively, these changes allow Licensee to successfully identify the license type of Serverless as MIT.
