Missing license for code copied from segmentio/encoding

[achille-roussel]

Hello!

I noticed that some of the code in go-json appears to have been copied or derived from work originally done in segmentio/encoding. segmentio/encoding was released under MIT license, which states the following:

The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all
copies or substantial portions of the Software.

For example, the appendString function in go-json seems to be an improvement of encodeString and escapeIndex in segmentio/encoding.

Let me know if I'm mistaken, but the comments are exactly identical and the code structure very similar.

I would like to ask if you could include the original LICENSE file in go-json to satisfy the license under which the code was originally released.

@achille-roussel Thank you for notice. It is true that the code is inspired by segmentio/encoding, so I've added the license to that file. Is it correct ? #476

Yes, that's perfect 👍

Sometimes projects also dedicate a folder to hold the licenses of third-party code that they have integrated, but that's really up to you on how you prefer to manage those.

Thanks for taking the time to address this issue!

Thank you for telling me about this. Merged.
