Deceptive license statement
The license at the top right says MIT.
README.txt says "See included License.txt" and includes a list of copyright holders and the corresponding years.
License.txt lists:
Copyright (c) 1995 - 2008 by L. David Baldwin
Copyright (c) 1995 - 2008 by Anders Melander (DitherUnit.pas)
Copyright (c) 1995 - 2008 by Ron Collins (HtmlGif1.pas)
Copyright (c) 2008 - 2009 by Sebastian Zierer (Delphi 2009 Port)
Copyright (c) 2008 - 2010 by Arvid Winkelsdorf (Fixes)
Copyright (c) 2009 - 2011 by Bernd Gabriel (Fixes, Enhancements)
as copyright holders (different from the list in Readme.txt), followed by the MIT license and then this statement:
Note that the source modules, HTMLGIF1.PAS and
DITHERUNIT.PAS are covered by separate copyright notices located in
those modules.
This leads anyone to think that the project is under the MIT license with the exception of the above files. However, files such as https://github.com/BerndGabriel/HtmlViewer/blob/HtmlViewer-11.7/source/htmlmisc.pas include a statement that the license for these files is MPL 1.1.
Thanks for spotting this inconsistency. Do you think the committed changes make it clearer? If not what would you suggest?
I think it's fine now. Thanks for addressing this. Also, now that I re-read my post, it sounds quite rude. Please accept my apologies.
Sorry, I've just noticed that the changed text mentions "separate copyright notices", not different licenses. Maybe stating that they are covered by different licenses would be better?
