cJSON was recently added to buildroot, which has introduced a nice "legal-info" target for collecting license files. You have the MIT license as the file headers for your soure, and README. Would you consider adding a separate LICENSE or COPYING file to the archive to have the MIT licenses by itself?
Either way, thanks again.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Basically, the buildroot cjson.mk file has meta-data to indicate what kind of license it is ("MIT"), and what file has the license info. You don't have to change the file header at all - just copy the license info from cJSON.h into a separate text file, on its own. Most of the packages that I've worked with name this file LICENSE or COPYING, but that's flexible.
Thanks again,

Hi. Firstly, thanks for this library.

If you can give me a 30sec step-by-step as to the correct header modifications to make, I don't mind doing it.

Ok, done in latest svn.
Great, thank you very much! We continue to get a lot of mileage out of cJSON at work, so thanks again.
