Remove COPYING (GPLv2 text left over from the BSD relicense) - #355
Merged
Merged
Conversation
HelFEM is BSD-3-Clause (LICENSE, and the SPDX header on every source file) since e5c8128. COPYING still held the full GPLv2 text, which contradicts that to anyone reading the tree -- and COPYING is the name tooling and packagers look at first. Nothing references it.

HelFEM has been BSD-3-Clause since the relicense (
LICENSE, plus the SPDX header in every source file), butCOPYINGstill contained the full GPLv2 text. That contradicts the license to anyone reading the tree, andCOPYINGis the file packaging tools check first. Nothing in the repository refers to it, and no other GPL text remains: the only other hit for GPL isNOTICE's historical note on the LGPL file removed in v2.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
