Hello,
in bug #31633 I proposed a patch to one of the export filters. It looks
like my contribution has been positively received but I have been asked
to explicitly state that my contribution is licensed under the usual MPL
1.1 / GPLv3 / LGPLv3 and to add the standard LibreOffice license header
to my file.
While I have no problems with the usual LibO license, I prefer releasing
my contributions under the ISC/OpenBSD license [1]. While it is legally
possible to integrate ISC-licensed code in existing MPL/GPL/LGPL code
bases [2], I would like to have an explicit assurance that using such
licensed code is OK in LibreOffice.
So, the question is: are ISC/BSD-licensed contributions acceptable?
Regards,
[1] The ISC license is a BSD-like license. It is very short; without the
usual warranty disclaimer it is just:
