From 7b3a98d3a69f6c415f0c30460f83a0318d4e65b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?=C5=81ukasz=20Niemier?= <~@hauleth.dev> Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2026 11:28:03 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Add license disclaimer to README PropEr is using GPL-3.0-or-later license for their codebase which requires property testing files to be licensed as GPL. Fortunately that doesn't affect main codebase, which allows licensing them independently. That is enormously confusing combo IMHO, but there currently no workaround, as PropEr team do not want to change license even when it is IMHO causing confusion. --- README.md | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 1543442..523b4a0 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -50,3 +50,10 @@ needed.
