    Hi.  Firstly, thanks for this library.

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

    Hi Dave,

    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,
    Dan -

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