The original AJAX Control Toolkit license prohibited the name of the
CodePlex Foundation from being used to endorse/promote derived products.
We need to preserve this requirement. This was already done in the .js
header blocks, and should have been done in LICENSE.txt in a7c96c56 but
was missed.
Original discussion in #10. Permission for the license change was given
by all existing contributors in #58.
The license text will be provided on the website, etc., and it seems
strange to list no copyright date newer than the original CodePlex
copyright from the AJAX Control Toolkit. Add a blanket copyright
statement for contributions to the OpenSeadragon project, stating that
copyright is held by the authors of each contribution. This blanket
statement is not intended to preclude individual contributors from
attaching their own copyright statements to their modifications.
for code taken from jQuery and from mattsnider.com.
Ideally we'd keep the MIT-licensed helper code in a separate file,
but it proved difficult to extricate from the rest of openseadragon.js.
Also remove comment about plagiarism. It's not plagiarism if it's
attributed and properly licensed.
All OpenSeadragon contributors have granted their permission for this
relicensing in #58.
Drop copyright statements for Ian Gilman and Christopher Thatcher as
they requested in #10.
Revert CodePlex Foundation copyright date to 2009 pursuant to discussion
in #10.
It's convenient for old releases to be available indefinitely so that
deployment scripts can retrieve a particular qualified version. This
won't affect the disk space requirements of the repository, since the
old packages will be in the Git history anyhow.
Move packages to a subdirectory of the site root to avoid causing
permanent clutter.
{Tar,zip}balls now have the form openseadragon-bin-0.9.125.{tar.gz,zip},
containing a directory openseadragon-bin-0.9.125.
Including the project's version number makes it easy to determine the
version of a random release sitting around a filesystem, and ensures
that unpacking a tarball won't overwrite another unpacked tarball or
write into a checked-out repo.
Adding -bin distinguishes the packages from source tarballs, which are
conventionally <project>-<version>.{tar.gz,zip}.
Tar files are conventionally compressed, often with gzip. xz would be
better but is not as universally supported; in particular,
grunt-contrib-compress doesn't support it.
