this project should contain a copyright notice

Now i added info about creator and license information in init.lua, is that ok as copuright notice?

i was thinking more of this.

one line to give the library's name and an idea of what it does.
Copyright (C) year name of author

btw that last part in quotes would not be part of the copyright notice. and also the mod should contain a copy of the license.

if you copy the license from here https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.txt which should be easier than copying a bunch of HTML crap that would work

Ok, i added licence file.
Looks like there are many different styles of how to compose descriptions, licence and author, i need to observe more, and pick my own style. Anyway, i will try to make my next mods look more respectable.
