samth said "I don't think the Friendly Environment policy should be thought of as part of copyright issues, or applying only to people who contribute code. Is there a different phrasing that would accomplish what you want here?" I have rephrased the reference to the Friendly Environment Policy and moved it before the License section to avoid confusion with copyright issues.
Note: the traditional Racket executable continues to incorporate
LGPLv3 code and thus modifications to it must be released under
that license. However, all Racket code in this repository, as well
as the Racket-on-Chez excutable, are more permissively licensed.
Thanks in particular to @otherjoel and @zyrolasting for their work
on this project.
Add text of MIT and Apache v2 licenses.
Add initial CONTRIBUTING.md file which specifies contribution license.
Add COPYRIGHT.txt file which specifies the license and lists some
external components.
The LGPL license stays in its current location to avoid having to
modify the build right now.
This commit merges changes that were developed in the "racket7" repo.
See that repo (which is no longer modified) for a more fine-grained
change history.
The commit includes experimental support for running Racket on Chez
Scheme, but that "CS" variant is not built by default.
