@APickledWalrus any news on this? It's been over a year of no activity. |
I've addressed the existing comments. Assuming this is a satisfactory solution for the goal, this should be able to be merged. |

I think this file should be called something different so it doesn't get confused with the actual licence.

Do you think LICENSING would be too similar?

Where do you think we should put it? My main intention is to provide a copy of the license text. Do you think it would be fine to just include it as part of the licensing document?
Description
In the interest of promoting a better open-source community I am proposing adding a new file to track contributors who have elected to release their code under the MIT license. This file will prove useful in the future if we wish to relicense Skript (specifically the API portion) under a new license (like MIT).
