-BSD 3-Clause License
+In Needle, we have adopted the use of SPDX identifiers to specify the license under which each file is provided.
 
-Copyright (c) 2021, Mitra Darvish
-All rights reserved.
+This approach simplifies the process of license declaration as it replaces the full license text with a single line
+identifier. The SPDX identifier is a globally recognized standard that allows for easy identification and understanding
+of the license. This means that each file in our project will have a license identifier at the top, making it clear
+under which license the file is provided. For more information about the specific licenses, you can refer to the
+[SPDX License List](https://spdx.org/licenses/).
