Subject: [PATCH] README: Git is released under the GPLv2, not just "the GPL"
Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2012 16:37:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <966a27bab02e7deb41ad2268800bfd4a53279a8f.1355499408.git.stefano.lattarini@gmail.com> (raw)
And this is clearly stressed by Linus in the COPYING file. So make it
clear in the README as well, to avoid possible misunderstandings.
