The text at the top of each source file was already specifying 2.0-or-later, but this wasn't clearly reflected in the full-text license in COPYING, which was the old 2.0 license, which can be interpreted as 2.0-only. Note that the license of `liblz4`, the library in `lib/` directory, is unchanged, and remains the more permissive `BSD 2-clause`.

This repository uses 2 different licenses :
|
|
- all files in the `lib` directory use a BSD 2-Clause license
|
|
- all other files use a GPL-2.0-or-later license, unless explicitly stated otherwise
|
|
|
|
Relevant license is reminded at the top of each source file,
|
|
and with presence of COPYING or LICENSE file in associated directories.
|
|
|
|
This model is selected to emphasize that
|
|
files in the `lib` directory are designed to be included into 3rd party applications,
|
|
while all other files, in `programs`, `tests` or `examples`,
|
|
are intended to be used "as is", as part of their intended scenarios,
|
|
with no intention to support 3rd party integration use cases.
