Files under coroutine/ start like this:

/*
 *  This file is part of the "Coroutine" project and released under the MIT License.
 *

The problem is, there is no definition of "the MIT License" throughout the entire project.

ioquatix (Samuel Williams) can you add your terms somewhere inside of LEGAL? There are several other materials also under the MIT license. You can follow how they are listed up.

[ioquatix (Samuel Williams)]

Sure.

[ioquatix (Samuel Williams)]

Are you happy adding the following to LEGAL:

coroutine::

  Where specified, these files are licensed under the {MIT License}[rdoc-label:label-MIT+License].

[shyouhei (Shyouhei Urabe)]

Looks good to me.

odaira (takumi odaira) Can you confirm/are you okay for your ppcle64 implementation to be released under the MIT License?

• Assignee changed from ioquatix (Samuel Williams) to ReiOdaira (Rei Odaira)

I have merged the license changes as discussed, but we still need to check the license of the code contributed by @ReiOdaira.
