Switch to Apache 2.0 license #52

Closed timuralp closed 3 years ago

timuralp commented 3 years ago

I propose switching to Apache 2.0 license from GPLv2 for less scrutiny in any corporate use cases, while maintaining the same permissiveness. Here is a blurb on compatibility (or lack thereof) between these licenses: https://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html. The incompatibility requires an explicit agreement for the switch.

@pbinkley, as the original author of the project, do you have any objections to the licensing change?

gaul commented 3 years ago

GPL was a curious choice given that this project is mostly config files with a few scripts. You need to get permission from all the contributors to relicense the project or remove their contributions. git shortlog -s says that there are 10 contributors. You have my permission to relicense under either Apache or MIT licenses. Good luck!

@gaul good point!

@daniellawrence @diwu1989 @The-Alchemist @majewsky @shooding @thiagodasilva you've all made contributions to this project. Can I have your permission to change the license to Apache 2.0 license?

There are 5 contributions that we didn't get an acknowledgement from. I believe they are minor. Commit summaries:

  1. Wei-Chih "add missing git clone of swift3" eefe4b1168845d0d77c5ec4ee130640f572cfb66
  2. Wei-Chih "avoid debian interactive warning" 1e9d8aa0548824bb96521ffe182f18459e1ccd1b
  3. Di Wu "Bind to both ipv4 and ipv6" cd472cf8419ce57302116f7e97aaecf1258232f8
  4. The Alchemist "fixed URL to Swift All-in-one deployment" 5f2cfe0047afaff5e2f09aca7d81dae6dc7406b2
  5. The Alchemist "minor formatting fixes" 590d9a881b50b0726ee1e39782ab612fa82ab259

I'll work on either removing these commits or getting an approval from the authors.

Thank you all! I received guidance that switching the license needs to be more formal than our agreement in this GitHub issue. At the same time, we (at NVIDIA) no longer have a need internally to pursue a different license. I'm going to close this issue for the time being.
