Change license to a more permissive one
Hello KDL contributors,
This follow the discussion that happened here: https://github.com/orocos/orocos_kinematics_dynamics/issues/405
As discussed with @smits and @MatthijsBurgh, they are both ok to change the license to a more permissive one. MIT seems to be the most appropriate (apache-2.0 was considered at first).
To make the change, we need the consent of every contributors to make the change from LGPL-v2 to MIT.
This will ease proprietary code development, allowing some modifications and static linking.
You can simply respond with "I agree".
Thanks !

@ahoarau I am reading into the licenses. I don't see why the LGPL-V2 prevents any larger work (open or closed) to link against this library.
My objection to change to MIT or Apache 2.0 license is that it allows for closed source modifications of this library. This library is open source and I think any modified version should be kept open.
@MatthijsBurgh LGPL-v2 prevents from static linking - at least makes it extremely difficult. "you must provide a way to relink against the library". Moreover, modifications that are need in some cases when integrating the lib could be difficult to put public for private companies. That could include more minor modifications as simple as building with different flags, fixing some warnings.. all of those are not necessarily useful for the bigger audience + again difficult to put public. Apache2 solves point 1, MIT both.
Many useful libraries like this one have permissive licenses, and still get contributions from people.
That being said, as a contributor and maintainer, the choice is up to you of course ! I was just lead to believe that you agreed on that in the last issue.
I agree.

I am sorry I gave you the impression I did. I just wanted to know the opinion of Smits first.

FWIW: I I don't see the problem with companies providing the source code of those minor modifications. It does not mean that upstream has to integrate them. Even more, I think the (L)GPL is especially for cases like this that useful changes are contributed back.
Many useful libraries like this one have permissive licenses, and still get contributions from people.
To me the question is not if there are contributions but rather if those how use it successfully contribute back.
Having said that, my contributions here where rather minor so I'm fine with whatever is agreed on.
I agree

Hi Antoine,
The groundwork for KDL was written by Erwin Aertbelien in 2003/2004, while we developed the Orocos Geometry Library. I did minor contributions and testing and later, Ruben took development and maintenance over from Erwin, but both contributed the largest parts afaikt. Since we used SVN the exact history/authorship of these days may be lost but these are the two persons that are instrumental as initial authors.
I agree for my contributions.

Hello KDL contributors,
This follow the discussion that happened here: #405 https://github.com/orocos/orocos_kinematics_dynamics/issues/405
As discussed with @smits https://github.com/smits and @MatthijsBurgh https://github.com/MatthijsBurgh, they are both ok to change the license to a more permissive one. MIT seems to be the most appropriate (apache-2.0 was considered at first).
To make the change, we need the consent of every contributors to make the change from LGPL-v2 to MIT. This will ease proprietary code development, allowing some modifications and static linking.
You can simply respond with "I agree".
Thanks !
