The goal is to have a permissive licence for this package, I chose MIT when
I created the package via github's automated form.
I'm not a language lawyer. If you can suggest a fix I would be happy to
take a PR.

I just noticed that:
- At the bottomof README.md, it says the license is MIT.
- However, the LICENSE file contains the BSD-2-clause license.
Thanks!

Hi Dave,
The goal is to have a permissive licence for this package, I chose MIT when
I created the package via github's automated form.I'm not a language lawyer. If you can suggest a fix I would be happy to
take a PR.
I would be happy to make a PR, but there are two possible but opposite solutions:
- Change
README.md
to say the licence is "BSD-2-clase". - Replace the licence text in the
LICENSE
file with that of the MIT licence. However, if we do this, github.com/pkg/errors and github.com/pkg/sftp would have different licences. (The currentLICENSE
file in github.com/pkg/sftp contains the text of the BSD-2-clause" licence.)
So, when you have time, could you please take a look at the following two licences:
and see which one you like better? They are both very permissive licences. :-)
(I was packaging pkg/errors for Debian as pkg/sftp now depends on it. Debian's Go packaging helper dh-make-golang
and friends rather intelligently determined the licence from the LICENSE
file and automatically filled in the fields in the debian/copyright
file, but then README.md says otherwise, so that's why I am here. 😄)
from errors.
The text in the LICENSE file is the authoritative copy, we cannot change
that.

Thank you for the clarification!
Please see Pull Request #42 where the reference to "MIT" is changed to "BSD-2-Clause".
Cheers,
