Dual License MIT and GPLv3? #50

Closed spillz closed 10 years ago

spillz commented 10 years ago

Hi Michael,

I am working on a fork (https://github.com/spillz/minepy) that for now I want to license as GPL v3. I don't think that anything in the original MIT license precludes licensing my contributions this way, but to prevent confusion I would prefer to just list the license as GPL v3 rather than list both licenses. Are you willing to allow me to license your parts of my fork as GPL v3 instead of the MIT license? (I will continue to list you as one of the copyright holders, of course)

Thanks.

PS: In case its confusing why I would want to do this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4035702/can-i-relicense-someones-mit-code-under-gpl PPS: GPLv3 isn't a religious issue for me, just currently how I choose to license most of my open source code.

I don't really like the GPL. I want my code to remain MIT.
