Hi, folks,
I am thinking about whether we can use a better way to display license
for a BSD licensed software. Currently I have copy and pasted the
copyright as a static string constant, but that means that we have to
duplicate the text, like this:
static const char license[] = " * Copyright (c) [year] [your name]\n
* All rights reserved.\n
*\n
* Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without\n
* modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions\n
* are met:\n
[...]
* SUCH DAMAGE.\n
"
Is there some better way not to include so much duplicated text?
Cheers,
