Hi guys, let's talk about snaps. There seems to be a problem with the snapd contributor's license agreement: https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/ff2 478d1-Canonical-HA-CLA-ANY-I_v1.2.pdf
"2.3 Outbound License Based on the grant of rights in Sections 2.1 and 2.2, if We include Your Contribution in a Material, We may license the Contribution under any license, including copyleft, permissive, commercial, or proprietary licenses. As a condition on the exercise of this right, We agree to also license the Contribution under the terms of the license or licenses which We are using for the Material on the Submission Date." As you can see, it seems to allow Canonical to relicense any contribution to snapd under a closed source license. In other words, it doesn't seem to be copyleft at all, since Canonical can take it out of the open source ecosystem at any time apparently. As far as I can tell, the license isn't permissive either, since only Canonical can relicense stuff. Thus is appears to be a nonfree license. Am I reading this wrong? What is going on here?
