Old release license issues #4568

Closed VeryCoolVenkee closed 1 year ago

VeryCoolVenkee commented 1 year ago

Hello esteemed contributors of libzmq,

I have a couple of inquiries regarding the license, and I would greatly appreciate your insights:

  1. It has come to my attention that the license on the master branch has been updated to MPL v2. May I kindly inquire if the same license applies to other tags as well? Specifically, if I were to utilize version 4.3.2.
  2. I was wondering if there is an estimated timeline for the release of a stable version? We are eager to make use of your code, which is licensed under MPL v2, at the earliest convenience.

Thank you kindly for your time and assistance!

Of course not, it cannot be retroactive, the license of the code you are using is defined in the code you are using
