Ah yes, the classic “let’s get rid of this stupid attribution and put my name in the license for copied work”
This file still exists, it's just in the correct directory now https://github.com/D-electronics-scratch/all_D.eSystem_versions/blob/main/limine-binary/LICENSE
And Limine is the opensource bootloader,the OS is written completly by myself
Nope,its not copied,ist the license from Limine and it accendently in the repo,I tried to delete it
Hmm, if the license wasn't copied, how was it accidently in the repo?
This is the License from the opensource bootloader,I added my source code with a commit,and then it apeared,then I tried to delete it because I want my own license for my own OS,but it wassnt working,then I deleted the license in the file and renamed the file to I to create a new License file,but I think the License is still in the Limine(bootloader) folder.
Limine includes its own license file. When I pushed my OS code to the repository, the Limine folder (with its license) was automatically included because it is part of the bootloader. I removed the misplaced copy of the license from the root directory because it does not apply to my OS. The file couldn’t be cleanly deleted at first, so I renamed it while preparing my own license file. The original Limine license is still correctly located inside the Limine folder.
My mistake, I assumed that you deleted the license completely. I now see it is just in the limine directory
