License

I just saw that BerlinDB is under GPL. Would you be open to possibly relicense as MIT or something or dual-license (like Gutenberg is planning)? This would allow using it in non-GPL plugins (which are allowed in the repo)
Definitely open to whatever is most open. 👐
IANAL, but since any chosen license would need to be compatible with GPL (so it can be used in GPL-licensed plugins), the MIT license seems to be a good fit. It is also compatible with the Apache license, so it could be used in an Apache-licensed plugin as well.
Of course existing contributors would need to agree to any change.
I agree @swissspidy. MIT it is then! 🚀
Will need a YES👍 or NO👎 from these contributors:
All set. 😄
PR ready for scrutiny.
I added myself as the lone copyright callout for 2 reasons:
- I wrote the bulk of what's here
- I can really only approve of adding myself
It doesn't seem like a good idea to maintain a list of every contributor in the LICENSE file, but it does seem like a good idea to list somebody in there for the sake of accountability – which also seems common in other MIT License usages I looked into.
Open to all feedback. 🍕
GitHub automatically caught up. 👍
