Hi all,
I would like to know, what is holding up our move to the MIT license?
Well, I'd like to move to an MIT license, but I haven't heard any other
opinions. I am also not sure what would be involved, or ultimately,
whether there are any legal issues in doing so... I think Peter would
have to weigh in on that, and maybe even TOG? Maybe not.
Then there would be the fun job of swapping out all of the LGPL license
headers for MIT ones.
I don't think this is something that will be done quickly, certainly not
in time for an official release, which I'd like to not put off too long.
The only thing I can think of are the btree_berkeley files which we have
no rights to, but those are only used for the database for installation,
which we could get rid of if we fixed make install, it's all tied
together... How would one go about fixing make install anyways?
So - You are saying these btree berkely files are used by the install
database? I wasn't aware of that - I had though it was all shell script
driven. Where is this database, and why is it a problem?
Also, could we relicense the assets to CC-BY-SA-4.0? This ensures GPL
compatibility.
Let's not re-license anything in this round. If we were MIT, then would
we even care about GPL compatibility?
