Where to leave licenses for the libraries used in the project?

Question

Law in IT

Good afternoon! I would like to sort out this issue.
I'm starting to learn OpenGL and want to write a small project and then publish it to GitHub. In the development process I use the libraries www.glfw.org and glew.sourceforge.net/index.html
Now I organized the project directories like this:
Project/
Project/bin
Project/resources
Project/sources
Project/dependencies/
Project/dependencies/GLFW
Project/dependencies/ GLEW
I put license files in the GLFW and GLEW folders, I also put the lib and include directories with library files there.
How right am I doing? Will the copyrights of the libraries be properly respected in this way?

Answer 1

By and large, it doesn't matter where you put the files with the description of the licenses. The main question is what is the license for the entire project and does it conflict with library licenses, for example, in terms of commercial use. In general, licenses like the GNU GPL have no legal force on the territory of the Russian Federation. They can only be considered as a kind of unacceptable agreement with the copyright holder and an indefinite circle of persons (developers) who determine the "rules" for the use of software and libraries. It's even more of an ethical question, how do you want your software to be used. Someone is against commerce, someone does not care about it.

Answer 2

copyright and exclusive rights are respected not when the file with the license is placed in the right folder, but when you strictly follow all the restrictions and permissions received from the copyright holder.
