Consider re-licensing to MIT or AL v2.0 #8

Hi there,

With all the licensing issues going on with React / the ASF foundation, I'm curious if you all would be interested in re-licensing preact-i18n to a MIT License, similar to how preact is currently licensed or re-license to Apache License 2.0.

Thanks for your consideration.

Is there an issue preventing you from using this library under the BSD 3-clause license? This license is permitted to be included with Apache products.

This is not a Category X License like the recently re-categorized Facebook BSD+Patents License; unless I am mistaken.

That is good to hear. Our team is looking to transition from react to preact due to FB licensing issues. With that, we'd be transitioning from react-intl to preact-i18n. Mainly wanted to have a sense of confidence that if we do this transition to preact, we reduce concerns about licensing issues. Thanks for the quick response @pl12133

We chose the 3-Clause BSD license for JavaScript projects targeting user agents precisely because it has very few interoperability concerns. @bjankord if this addresses your concern, can we close this issue? Thanks.
