Where to find licence on github?

Hi,

I wanted to start using the LiquidFun physics library for Android from Google

https://github.com/google/liquidfun

However I can't find the licence. Surely github has somewhere a licence button/system as I would personally expect this from a codehub but I don't know, I never used github as I don't have any open source code.

Didn't know where to post so I just posted it here ;)

Thanks for your help

Icy :)

Github doesn't mandate your license be stored or display in any specific way, so it doesn't provide a way to parse it or display any kind of "license" button that is always guaranteed to work (most projects make a LICENSE file at the root, but this one doesn't seem to have one). You just have to look through the repository itself.

It looks like this file is what you are after, however:
