Change from GPL to Apache compatible license #6

Closed rabelenda closed 6 years ago

rabelenda commented 6 years ago

Hello, I work in a team developing plugins for Jmeter, and in particular we are now interested on developing a plugin to access IBM servers through the IBM 3270 protocol to allow the general community to run load/performance tests on such systems with an open source and free tool.

We have found this great project and would like to use it as a dependency to implement the aforementioned plugin, but since this project uses GPL 3.0 license and such license is not compatible with Jmeter one we can't use it.

Is there any chance to change this project license to one compatible with Apache license? We would really appreciate it and we think it would be an even greater (than already is) contribution to the community. Obviously, we would keep a reference to your project and to you, for proper credits.

If you have any questions about the Jmeter plugin project or anything please let me know.

Regards.
