Update of license from LGPL to MPL

Open amosialek opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Zero MQ has changed licensing from LGPL 3.0 to MPL 2.0 (source: http://wiki.zeromq.org/area:licensing) Will NetMQ package change its license as well?

Any news on that? The LGPL license makes it incompatible to use in any commercial project due to the "tivoli clause". Which is really unfortunate :(

Personally I'm not against it, but moving license is not straightforward and the amount of work required might be prohibitive. If someone wants to research what's involved and obtain all the relevant agreements from prior contributors (which I assume is required) then we can move ahead with this.
