Top-level license file

[Maniues]

I know there are many license files for specific packages, but I think it would be nice to add a top-level LICENSE file that will:

1. Inform repo viewers under which license this project licensed is
2. Cover unrelated of packages files (like README, global package.json etc.)

This repository is organized into distinct Javascript packages (xrpl, ripple-binary-codec and so forth). Consequently, each of them have their own LICENSE files: https://github.com/XRPLF/xrpl.js/blob/main/packages/xrpl/LICENSE

Is this required for any legal purposes? Can you point me to other open-source examples where the umbrella repo has a LICENSE file ?

@ckeshava

Is this required for any legal purposes?

There are several files that may be useful for usage AND that are UNLICENSED:

• markdown files like README, MIGRATION etc
• config files *.json, *.js in top-level directory
• there is documentation (docs directory)

Can you point me to other open-source examples where the umbrella repo has a LICENSE file ?

I can search for some examples, but I don't know many libraries that are split into many licenses.
Some similar can be Notesnook: one app, many packages or NocoDB.
