Requesting re-license clearance for our open source RPGItems fork #1

Dear @Thinkofname , @Mowstyl and @TfT-02

Words are powerless to express my gratitude. Thanks you for bringing us such a powerful plugin which I'm devoting to.

We maintains our own fork at RPGitems-reloaded. As for a part of the spigot-1.13 update of this plugin, we are considering add some programmable interface to it. For the sake of allowing more developer and project to use it, we are considering change RPGitems-reloaded from GPLv3 to some license that are lesser restrictive than GPLv3, such as Apache License 2.0 or The MIT License. So we are requesting clearance from you, the creators of RPGItems.

If you give us the permission to re-license RPGitems-reloaded to other open source license, we will inform you before and after the transition again once we received clearance from all the contributors and decided which license is best choice for RPGitems-reloaded.

We will always open source our fork and develop it with our best effort. The re-license will create more rooms for more developers to involve in RPGitems. We can create expansion for RPGitems more easily and with less restriction.

If you or some of other contributors think GPLv3 is the right decision, we will remain at GPLv3.

Your copyright was, is, and will be consistently and fully respected.

Best Regards, The NyaaCat Developers

I'm ok with that, but you should also ask @Thinkofname, the original developer of the plugin (not 100% sure). Also I want to know if I can provide you with help. I'm a programmer and I can also help you translating (I sent you a petition). Thanks for continuing the development of this plugin!

Pd.: I'm using your fork for a few months
