Clarify the license of net-imap

Open shugo opened this issue 9 months ago • 8 comments

https://github.com/ruby/resolv/issues/45 realized me that LICENSE.txt contains only BSD-2-Clause license, while gemspec specifies both Ruby's and BSD-2-Clause license. So I'd like to clarify the license.

Just add a 👍 reaction, if you have no objection.

Whatever is fine with @nevans is fine with me.

I've fixed typo in https://github.com/ruby/net-imap/pull/275#issuecomment-2088095336: if you have any objection -> if you have no objection.

👍🏻 Looks good to me. Thanks @shugo!

I have no objection and agree to clarify

@shugo @hsbt I did add my "approved" PR review, but I assume we should wait until either a) 2024-06-01 00:00:00 UTC or b) we have everyone's explicit approval before merging this.

From my perspective, this was always the intended license. So I'm hopeful and expect that everyone involved will agree.

@nevans Thanks for your confirmation. I've removed a direct reference to BSDL in 23c5b75. Could you check it out?

I'd like to merge this PR on 2024-06-01 if there's no objection.

@nevans Could you approve this PR again if 23c5b75 looks good?
