License stuff

Dear programmers,

When I look at code, in 99% of the cases each file starts with a copy-pasted license.
Instead each file should start with a short description what the file is for. Which is almost never there. So let’s start with a description and put the license downstairs :slight_smile:

Best wishes, Eric

Or just put the license in a LICENSE file and don’t repeat it in each file at all. That’s what the vast majority of projects do these days, adding at most an SPDX-License-Identifier, though even that is rare.
