[Sugar-devel] [sugarlabs/ajedrez-activity] Adding A Suitable License (#1)

[James Cameron]

There were two repositories.  You destroyed, by ignoring, commits to
those repositories.  You've done it several times now; but I'm not
surprised, as you aren't an activity maintainer yet.

GTK+ is the name to the toolkit according to both The GTK+ Project and
Wikipedia.  It deserves a "+" because that's the name the authors
used.  I'll continue to credit their work by using the proper name.

https://www.gtk.org/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK%2B

The list of tasks for an activity maintainer is in
https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-docs/blob/master/src/contributing.md#checklist---maintainer
and already includes incrementing a version number.

Translations should be merged to honour the work done by translators;
it is the same activity, based on recursive comparison of files.

I don't plan to make this activity available for Ubuntu Sugar, because
it is in terrible shape.  If someone were to maintain it, then I'd be
a bit more interested.
