I read the MIT license, and I think we ought to just officially brand
Allegro as under the MIT license. It's a more professional sounding
(for whatever that's worth) version of "giftware" and adds more
credibility to open-source communities.
The page http://alleg.sourceforge.net/license.html wouldn't even have
to be changed much. The first sentence could simply read: "Allegro is
provided under the MIT license." With MIT being a link to the MIT
license. The rest could be the same.
Not that I really care either way, but I see no harm in giving it a
recognized license that does not impose any limitations on use. Just a
thought.
