Change license to MIT

Closed this issue 6 years ago · 15 comments

Hi everybody,

In order to avoid distrust from companies using Signum Framework, Signum Extensions or Southwind, I would like to change the Software Licence from LGPL to MIT.

LGPL: https://tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-lesser-general-public-license-v3-(lgpl-3) It's more complicated to understand, and is used by few libraries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Software_using_the_LGPL_license
MIT: https://tldrlegal.com/license/mit-license It's a simple: do what you want but we're not libable if it crashes. It's used by most of the libraries like .Net Core, React, Angular, jQuery, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Software_using_the_MIT_license

While I'm the main maintainer of the framework, there are contributions from many different people and I would like to be sure that a big majority agrees with the change. It doesn't have to be a 100% agreement, but we would need to remove the code from the ones who disagree.
