Current Implementation

iOS Repository does not have a license.

Suggested Enhancement

Add a license, i.e. the Apache License Version 2.0, how it's already done in the Android Repository.

I would open a PR which adds the license, you only have to check if this Repository is also licensed under the Apache License Version 2.0.

Best, DS

Okay thanks @dsarkar, I did not see this 😅
Maybe you would like to add this text to the README.md here to?
I have a PR implementing this ready, so just lemme know 👍
Because as of now the license is quite hard to find and GitHub is also showing:

@Ein-Tim Thanks.

Here isn't the license still

[Ein-Tim]

@jucktnich yes this is not possible because GitHub searches for a file named "LICENSE" and grabs this but the iOS Repo has the licenses in a folder (GitHub is not aware of this).

[jucktnich]

Why is it not possible to create a license file?

[Ein-Tim]

@jucktnich

As you can see in the LICENSES folder, the Repo is licensed under 2 Licenses, I think GitHub can only show one license, so you would have to pick one.

[jucktnich]

Or write two in one file.

[Ein-Tim]

Yes would be possible, maybe @kaddaSz could just quickly give her opinion to this? 🙂

@jucktnich, @Ein-Tim:
The LICENSES folder is needed for the REUSE Tool, to which we migrated for the iOS repo already. Unfortunately this is not recognized by GitHub.
We will check if we just add the LICENSE file with the Apache 2.0 License again (and additionally) to the root folder, so that the license information can be shown by GitHub.

@jucktnich see #1791

Can be moved to done in [CM] cwa-app-ios.
