Relicense under BSD 3-clause?

Open dietmarw opened this issue 5 years ago • 5 comments

VI is currently under the Modelica License 1.1 with the MA as copyright holder. The MSL switched its license since 3.2.3 to BSD 3-Clause which is almost identical with the not so well known and outdated Modelica License 1.1. I think it would be a clean solution to have the next major version be published under the same BSD 3-Clause license as the MSL.

I'm in favor.

@dietmarw How much effort is it to change the license? And shall we care about CLA as well?

Basically you need the OK from all copyright holders: https://github.com/modelica/VehicleInterfaces/blob/master/VehicleInterfaces/UsersGuide.mo#L670-L671
