The current version of 'bsts' is released under the LGPL. I want to add
the MIT license as an alternative.
Right now the DESCRIPTION file contains the line
License: LGPL-2.1 | file LICENSE
and the file LICENSE contains a copy of the LGPL.
To add the MIT license I believe I need to modify it to be
License: LGPL-2.1 | MIT + file LICENSE | file LICENSE
The syntax MIT + file LICENSE is because the MIT license is a template, and
I need to fill in the template parameters in the LICENSE file.
What's the right way to structure the LICENSE file to contain two
licenses? Should I have two files (MIT.LICENSE, LGPL.LICENSE)? Can I just
append the MIT license to the bottom of the LICENSE file?
Thank you for reading.
