This is to provide a summary of the licenses used by MicroPython.

  • Add SPDX identifier for every directory that includes non-MIT-licensed content.
  • Update copyright to 2019
  • Add brief summary
  • Update docs license to be more explicit.

This was partially automated and cross-checked with the work by @dlech in #4432 I like the approach outlined there but my aim here is to provide a simple "at a glance" summary of just the licenses used and clarify the overall purpose of the root-level LICENSE file.

Related to #4363

Thanks for this. It is nice and concise, and at least gives an overview of the state of the licenses in the whole project. Users will of course need to dig deeper to read the full licenses/copyright to comply with them.
