License project under Mozilla Public License 2.0

[per1234]

It is important to define the license under which a software project is released in order to permit its use.

Previously, most of the code files of this library did not contain any information about licensing. It is now offered under the formal open source Mozilla Public License 2.0.

The file src/Arduino_SensorKit.h contained an informal statement releasing its contents into the public domain:

Arduino_SensorKit/src/Arduino_SensorKit.h

Line 4 in 1d58179

Released into the public domain.

That statement and offer remains, but the content is now also offered under MPL 2.0 in order to support its usage in applications where a formal open source code license is required.

We did our best to assess the intellectual property of this codebase to ensure that all contributors granted copyright to Arduino SA. For any inquiry, report, or claim please contact us at [email protected].

The 3rd party libraries "Grove - Barometer Sensor BMP280", "Grove Temperature And Humidity Sensor", and "U8g2" are vendored in the project. The licensing of those libraries under permissive licenses was already defined in the individual folder for each library and their licensing remains unchanged.

License looks good, thanks Per!

As for the external libraries, I’m not sure why they were copy-pasted instead of added as dependencies. We’ll need to look into it, but that’s separate from the licensing matter.
