Copyright & license notice
Include the following copyright and license notice header into all project code files.
/* Copyright 2019-2022 (c) Dappros Ltd, registered in England & Wales, registration number 11455432. All rights reserved. You may not use this file except in compliance with the License.

Licensing
A) Open-source license option.
Your Ethora-based project should include a copy of the license file typically available under COPYING and LICENSE file names in the root of the repository.
Please ensure these license files remain as part of your repository and that you keep publicly open and available your Ethora based project code and its derivatives. Please ensure you retain the copyright & license notice in the headers of project code files. Doing otherwise is a violation of license terms.
B) Commercial license option.
There is no need to include a license file into your project repository if your company/project has a commercial license contract from Ethora foundation (represented by Dappros Ltd, UK) or one of its official distributor partners.
You should remove the COPYING and LICENSE files in such case if you have your local copy duplicated from the main Ethora repository, as your code is governed by custom license terms.
