Agreed.
I did pick this license after some careful consideration. I'm open minded. For me this felt like it best protected things I care about and was open enough to facilitate easy adoption and contributions. Can you provide more of an explanation why you feel the current license would hinder adoption?
Lawyers.
Basically, big enterprises don't want more licenses. Each license has to go through rigorous review process, even if simple and only one page. This means it will have to be scheduled, meetings planned with legal and the developers. Generally the major licenses are already done and handled, meaning a developer can use them without speaking to anyone. "Major" being BSD, MIT, Apache, Mozilla, CPL, EPL, Artistic, (L,A)GPL. The moment you go off the reservation you create a massive barrier to adoption in a corporation, just from an inconvenience standpoint.
While contracting at large shops, I have seen entire open source projects dumped because of bad / custom / "cute" licenses (after man hours were invested). Additionally, I have seen a vast number never even looked at based on not having a pre-approved license.
Could you get by with a dual license, SimPL 2.0 / GPL 2.0? That would solve the problem basically. Additionally, do you feel the OSI statement that SimPL 2.0 is "a plain language implementation of GPL 2.0", to be accurate? If so, then what is the value of using a far less tested, uncommon license over a well established, well understood, vetted license like GPL 2.0?
If it is primarily about user understanding, maybe a link to: https://tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-general-public-license-v2#summary is the best way to go rather than using a "plain language" license?
What Robert said plus in environments I am familiar with the GPL makes the bar for using the software way higher and for contributing back almost impossibly high. Ironically this means less contributions back for GPL licensed software and other similar restrictive licenses.
I should have been more clear, when I said "done and handled" -- that meant whitelisted OR blacklisted, but at least not grey. In lots of environments I have worked in, GPL 2.0 was done and handled but unfortunately blacklisted.
Used server-side, I suspect Hugo would fall under the GPL 2.0 server-side loophole. I am curious if that is intentional or accidental?
Additionally, a clarification on the "rigorous review process". You need to remember that it applies to more than just use. It will be use by environment, use by distribution, use by product, use by industry, am I allowed to contribute during work hours, am I allowed to contribute on my own time, for X license contributions have to go through Y channel, etc.
I work on the open source compliance team at Google at this is a problem for us for exactly the reasons already mentioned. I'm having trouble getting approval to contribute because of the non-standard license. We tend to prefer more permissive licenses (MIT, BSD, Apache), but that whole argument aside, the text of the GPLv2 has been reviewed and vetted by our lawyers. SimPL-2.0 has not and they're not likely to, if for no other reason than to take a stand against license proliferation.
A big thanks to @willnorris @abh @robertmeta for the feedback here.
I appreciate the common english language of the SimPL-2.0 license, but completely understand all of the points made here, most of which I had not considered when I started this project a year ago. I see no reason to stick with the SimPL-2.0 license since GPL 2.0 has broader visibility and is otherwise virtually the same.
@robertmeta I believe you are correct on the loophole.. Which would mean that the agpl-3.0 would be the way to go to close it.
The question is should I adopt a more liberal license... In talking with @abh in person at GopherCon he pretty much convinced me I should.
So the pros and cons as I see this are... Adopting a more liberal license will enable more contributions, especially from corporate employees who's contributions to a GPL or similarly restrictive project are prohibited. This comes at the cost of enabling sublicensing and allowing people to take Hugo and modify it as they see fit without contributing anything back.
I typically adopt a more liberal license for projects, but I also historically have written in languages that copy and distribute source not binaries (php, ruby, python, viml, perl, js) ... so I feel a bit out of my element here.
Am I missing anything?
for what it's worth, the primary problem for us (Google) is not the decision between a permissive license versus a restrictive license. It's simply "standard, vetted license" (GPLv2, et al) versus "non-standard, mostly-unheard-of license" (SimPL). We can contribute to a GPLv2 project, no problem. AGPL becomes a problem, at least for software we use internally, not sure about simply contributing to projects. (I have a personal aversion to AGPL projects, but that's another story).
All that said, as you've noted, other corporations may have stronger restrictions around contributing to GPL projects. Adopting a more permissive license would certainly address that. Google strongly prefers the Apache license for our own projects because it includes a contributor license agreement as well as a patent license. As one would expect, it results in longer license text, but has pretty strong protections for the project itself (CLAs) and end-users of the project (patent licenses).
Realistically, any change of license would need agreement from all contributors since, unless they signed a copyright assignment, they still own the copyright to their contributions. Those contributions were made under the SimPL, not any other license. It's your call how rigorously you would want to track all those down :)
Thanks for being open to this.
@spf13 I think you got the general track -- both pros and cons. Obviously what @willnorris said about prior contributors is important and might be tougher with a major shift (towards AGPL 3.0 or Apache would both be a fairly large shift from the GPLv2)...
Additionally -- I would agree with @willnorris in preferred licensing terms (Apache is super-clear where a bunch other licenses are vast seas of grey area), but I am not a contributor.. nor a user at this point. Unfortunately this little licensing issue killed Hugo for our project, and we couldn't wait for it to get sorted out.
Either way -- appreciate the hard work and thought you are putting into licensing terms.
According to the FSF ( and drupal's lawyer types), the GPL 2 is not compatible with apache 2 license while GPL 3 is. See: http://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html
Choosing GPL 2 could cause a problem with integration of apache 2 licensed code/libraries.
This interpretation isn't shared by everyone, but myself and others (like the symfony framework folks) have gone with it
I think you summarized it pretty well. My experience is that the open licenses (MIT, BSD, Apache) are better for getting developers truly involved and contributing more than cosmetic patches, but you are right it also carries a higher (but still tiny) risk that someone would take the project and makes it closed.
However even if they do, what does that really take away from your project? Sure they might have made nice software based on yours (and now closed, oh noes!), but the rest of us would still have the original Hugo to work with. Will they take away "user share"? Maybe, but one more or less competitor in this space hardly makes much difference and more importantly "users" don't contribute back, developers do.
There are quite a lot of contributors to get to agree to changing the license, but not that many that have more than a few lines of code.

Many of those contributions were to docs and tests. Additionally some have been refactored out and wouldn't need to give permission either.

Switching to GPLv2 should be possible without having to get permissions from contributors, right? Quoting from the current license SimPL-2.0:
If you distribute the software or a Derived Work, you must give back to the community by: […]
- Licensing it to everyone under SimPL, or substantially similar terms (such as GPL 2.0), without adding further restrictions to the rights provided […]
(I don’t know, but maybe even GPLv3 would be "substantially similar" to SimPL-2.0?)
I’d like to see the switch from SimPL-2.0 to GPL, not least because SimPL-2.0 is not a FLOSS license: it’s Open Source as defined by the OSI, but not (yet?) Free Software as defined by the FSF.
Here's my view: GPL and all the similar copyleft licenses are for those who believe that people are inherently evil. That others will not voluntarily contribute changes back to your project unless you force them to do so. That they will steal your code and make it into a private commercial product without any benefit for the other people using your code.
MIT, Apache, and similar licenses are for those who believe people are inherently good. That others will contribute changes back to your project because it's the right and good thing to do.
I have worked at enterprise shops where we wanted to be able to use open source software, but licenses like GPL etc are incompatible with a closed-source product. I don't think closed-source is evil.... a lot of companies work that way, because it's the traditional way. In some respects, it's the easy way.
My requirements for a license are just two things:
I choose MIT for all my projects because it's a standard license, so no one wonders if it might not be legally sound. It's liberal, so pretty much anyone can use my code for pretty much anything. And finally, the language is really plain and clear even for non-lawyers to understand, so any Joe off the street can understand that he can use my code with little to no restrictions.
I might go so far as to use Apache-2 if I ever had a big application, since it supposedly gives more protection to the authors of the code against litigation.
:+1: to everything Nate said.
I want to switch. Not easy to switch. Need to get approval from every current contributor.
assuming someone else volunteered to help with the legwork of tracking down contributors, which license would you want to switch to?
spf13 -- you can do a combination of track downs and reimplementation / replacements. This is often even easier than tracking down people for small fixes / contributions.
@willnorris Deciding between GPL-2.0 and Apache 2... leaning pretty heavily towards Apache 2.0.
@robertmeta. It would have to be a hybrid.. Anyone who didn't agree would have to have their contribution reimplemented. I'm hoping and believe that everyone would agree and comply.
I am also in favor of using a well-known licenses like GPL / MIT / Apache / BSD.
When I found SimPL license, I had to read it. Though it's like GPL, well-known licenses appears more friendly.
About "contributors agreement" - the later we change license, agreement from more contributors will be needed
I think @spf13 can announce intent at some point, may be in google-group, and those who have objection can let voice their concerns. For these contributors, we can check if their code is used in current hugo release. I really think nobody should have any objection here.
I am not sure if communicating this way to contributors is legal or correct. Though, I feel changes like this should happen earlier.
We're going to switch to Apache 2. I need to dual license it for all contributions going forward, then get approval from all existing contributions. It's quite a process, but enough people feel it's important. I hope it will help increase contributions.

Apache 2 is good license as well. :-)
Excellent news! The prior license was making me hesitant to contribute more than bug fixes and minor enhancements.
@spf13 I grant you the right to use Apache 2 for any of my prior contributions.
It feels like it is -- "Checklist Time" -- maybe setup a wiki page checklist with all contributors (and a short explanation and link to this issue) and start reaching out to them 1 by 1 (only about ~60 people -- isn't really horrific to hit them all up).
If they don't agree, or don't respond, we put their work into a rewrite queue.
Just my two cents: It is often said that a more liberal license will encourage more contributions. I guess it is more correct to say that this might encourage more corporate contributions. The more liberal license might lessen contributions from (non corporate?) developers who prefer a more copyleft license like the GPL.
It's not about bad or good people, but about free software and about how about this freedom may persist in the long term. I personally don't want a corporation to take a free software project and create a proprietary project out of it, because it might hinder freedom of the users who have to use this project (sometimes we have no real choice) and might lessen the success of the original project. In the end, it's a political question, and might not even have a big impact on the project at all. Maybe you just have to ask yourself if you like Stallman and the FSF or not ;)
@chrneumann I have similar views like yours. License like MIT encourages corporate contributions but GPL makes a contributor believe his work will "persist" with time.
But then some projects e.g. Rails Framework has to be MIT. Imagine Rails was released with GPL!
In long run - overall impact of license choice is not much bigger than actual projects.
When choosing license for https://github.com/rtCamp/easyengine project, we choose GPL.
My argument was: People who are not bothered to submit their changes back to the project have zero practical value to the project itself.
Here's a great example of how project-open-data handled their license migration: https://github.com/project-open-data/project-open-data.github.io/pull/135
AFAICT nobody's done the legwork of confirming all contributors have accepted, I'll pick that up.
@abh how did you generate that list of contributors? It will be easier with github ids to cross-check.
A quick status update:
@spf13 has started a thread on 2014-10-12 to collect sign-offs by contributors to agree to the move from SimPL 2.0 to Apache License 2.0:
23 sign-offs have been collected as of today (2015-01-21). Making good progress, but still quote some way to go before we reach our goal.
A small note about the upcoming license change was added to http://gohugo.io/meta/license/ two days ago.
I am starting to think that perhaps we need to add an explicit statement in README.md and the documentation for contributors that all contributions from this point forward (from today? from 2015-01-01? From 2014-10-12?) automatically fall under the Apache License v2.0 (or SimPL/Apache dual license)?
And perhaps we will need to individually contact our past contributors, especially those who were active in 2013 and early 2014 but have since moved on, to obtain permissions from them for the license switch? E.g. @tychoish, @noahcampbell, and others? :-)
@dch How's the legwork going? We need a list of contributors and a list of people who have signed off.

It uses Git blame -- so this is "active content".
Wow, that's some neat stats. :smile:
@anthonyfok. Agree with the approach. We should draw a line in the sand and say all contributions going forward are under Apache. Not sure what the best way to do that within the legal constraints are.
Please have a look at - https://www.clahub.com/
Not sure if its relevant here. But might help for future pull requests. Basically in CLA we can add something like:
The project is undergoing license change
. Your contribution (i.e. pull request) will be accepted under Apache license.
This will make future contributions obey Apache license. Then for old contributions over the time we might be able to collect sign-offs from most people.
Finally we can try to separate out code v/s docs contribution.
Please note that above are just my ideas and I have no legal knowledge of the process.
On sidenote, wordpress.org accepts plugins with MIT and Apache license in their plugin repo even though WordPress is GPL. So can we make project dual license?
I would strongly recommend making it clear that all future contributions accepted must be under the Apache license. CLAHub may well be one way to make that easier, I haven't used it, but any tooling to make 1) licensing easier to use and enforce, and 2) make people aware of different licenses before they contribute is a good thing in general.
I would imagine that updating readme/license to note that some existing portions of the software are under X license, but that as of date X all new contributions must be under the Apache license to be included.
Re: @rahul286, I personally don't see the need to use a dual-license. First, you'd need to have previous copyright owners/contributors agree to dual license. Plus, in just about all cases Apache licensed code is accepted within GPL licensed projects or products, even as patches or within products. The ASF has a legal FAQ-like page discussing this:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html
Note that any Apache project (i.e. hosted at the ASF) cannot accept GPL'd code, and some/many independent projects that use the Apache license also won't accept GPL code within their software products.
Note that Wordpress policies are a separate question. I.e. the license for the WordPress core code is immaterial to the license of plugins used, since there's a clear and well understood plugin API between the components, meaning the licenses don't interact with each other. This lets different plugin authors continue development of their plugin under their preferred license.
In any case, I'm personally excited Hugo is switching to Apache license, since I'm hoping to use it to run several websites going forward, and personally I prefer a permissive license like Apache.
Thanks!
I was under impression that we can use dual-license in different way.
For example:
So dual-license was temporary thing. Not sure if such arrangement is legally possible. :|
Some use of the GitHub API/jq

/scraping discourse got me this.

Seriously, I dont understand the issue here... You DO NOT need the approval of all contributors to relicense it under the GPL 2.0, because they have already agreed to do so by accepting the SimPL 2.0 license.
As @unor has already quoted before:
If you distribute the software or a Derived Work, you must give back to the community by: […]
- Licensing it to everyone under SimPL, or substantially similar terms (such as GPL 2.0), without adding further restrictions to the rights provided […]
As you see the SimPL 2.0 license is perfectly compatible to the GPL 2.0.
We are not changing to GPL 2.0. We are changing to Apache 2.
Well, you could of course try to switch to apache 2.0, but seriously I dont see this happening (do you really hope to get all those agreements?).
As I have understood the main issue of the SimPL 2.0 license is that it's not "known" and reviewed by lawyers of corporations. The GPL 2.0, 3.0 or the Apache 2.0 license would solve this, but obviously (at least for now) the latter is not reachable.
So while years will pass, this issue will still not be resolved and corporations will reject hugo. So by logical thinking I would just transfer to GPL 3.0 straight away (thus solving the main issue), and still try to get those contributor agreements for apache 2.0 in the aftermath, if this move is still desired (considering how minor the differences between GPL 3.0 and Apache 2.0 are).
However I see no sense in keeping things as they are.
@Nuc1eoN I agree with you. :-)
Had it been GPL instead of SimPL I would have started working earlier on this project!

But it's only 25 people with more than 100 lines of code/doc left in the project. So this is manageable, it just needs some work, the best would be that @spf13 took some charge.
1) Alert the people on the list. The people with lots of contributions, try to find them via other channels as well -- dig up their Twitter, phone number etc. (it's not many). 2) For the people not responding, rewrite their code. Simple.
Here is the same list, but excluding Doc contributions:

Wouldn'd it be easier to accept/merge future PR's from new contributors only if they've signed the contributor license agreement?
Hi, I've just been asked to sign the CLA, but I can't do so without my employer's permission. My employer reviewed it and they said it assigns away ownership, which my employer doesn't allow.
By making a contribution to this project, I grant Steve Francia all rights to contributions of ideas, code, documentation, or work provided to this project and I grant him the rights to release my contributions under the Apache 2 license and warrant that these contributions are free of the rightful claim of any third party and I have the right to submit it under the Apache 2 license.
They suggest instead the standard Apache CLA would be acceptable: https://www.apache.org/licenses/cla-corporate.txt
uh, yeah... when did that happen? That's not a CLA (Contributor License Agreement), that's a Copyright Assignment, which is a full-on deal breaker for many corporations, and is completely unnecessary.
Will, can we switch license without assigning these rights? Or better question is what rights are needed to change licenses?
I don’t love the apache CLA but I do like http://developercertificate.org/ and plan on switching to it once the license is changed.
I believe neither the Apache or DCO permit changing licensing.

I was thinking that the Apache CLA did allow relicensing, but I'd have to double check. But either way, a full copyright assignment is a non-starter.
I realize you probably picked deliberately, but I will ask anyway. :-)
For personal use the license is fine, but it would be nicer if the software had a properly open license (apache, bsd or MIT for example) for "corporate use". It's not about not contributing back, but just the added legal hassle using contagious licenses in anything.
