Need relicensing permission for files in ccan repo

Open ti-kamlesh opened this issue 11 months ago • 1 comments

CC0 is not OSI recommended license.

Need relicensing permission for below files. Though it would be awesome to get permission for all the files as other people will also be having this issue. What is the right way to do it?

The repo We are trying to submit is trusted firmware arm (https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/34815)

It prefers SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD-3-Clause https://trustedfirmware-a.readthedocs.io/en/latest/license.html#license

Thanks in advance.

The whole point of CC0 is that it applies essentially no restrictions and is therefore compatible with any other license. You don't need permission to relicense, CC0 already gives you that permission.
