Relicensing of Bodhi to GPLv2+

[Nick Bebout (Fedora Infrastructure Relicensing)]

Hi, as you may or may not know, Fedora Infrastructure is working on
relicensing all of our apps to be GPLv2+.  Please reply to this email to
confirm that you are ok with relicensing your contributions to the
elections app as GPLv2+, which means GPLv2 or any later version.

Please reply to this email, which will direct your email to
relicensing(a)fedoraproject.org, which is a mailing list so there is
a record of your agreement.  If you have any questions, you can email me
at nb(a)fedoraproject.org.

Thank you,

Nick Bebout

Personally I'm not very keen on the + part of GPL licensing.  I don't like that my
licensing rights can change in the future without my express consent.

However in this particular case, my contributions to Bodhi, I'm fine with GPLv2+.

ACK to relicensng any contributions I have made to either bodhi or the
elections app to GPLv2+.

This is perfectly acceptable to me.  (I had to look to see what
minimal contribution I'd even made to bodhi.)

I presume this is for bodhi, despite saying "elections app" in the
message body.  If I've contributed anything to any other Fedora
Infrastructure apps that need relicensed, I'm fine with that too.

Good luck,

im ok with it

[Nick Bebout (Fedora Infrastructure Relicensing)]

Sorry, this email should have read "relicensing your contributions to
Bodhi" not the elections app.

You may relicense all of my contributions to bodhi under the terms of the
GPLv2 or later.

Hi Nick,

I didn't.

Can you share why this is desired?


-- 
Mathieu

[Nick Bebout]

== Goals ==

* Be able to share code among the various pieces we write.
* Not have our libraries force a specific license on the apps that we write.
* Not have conflicting licenses between our apps and our libraries
* Have a clear understanding of the steps we must take whenever we want to move code from
an application under one license to a library under a different one.
* Protect the code we write from being taken proprietary (note, this is not the same for
every author.  Mirrormanager, for instance, is under the MIT/X11 License).
* Be able to stay compliant with licenses within our production, staging, and publictest
environments

== Preferred Licenses ==

In general, Fedora Infrastructure has chosen to use the family of GNU Public Licenses in
order to keep the software free.  The particular licenses chosen aim to make the software
compatible with as much software as possible while still keeping this goal.

The preferred license for anything that we write is GPLv2+.  This lets our code be used in
both GPLv2 and GPLv3 code bases.

The preferred license for python modules and other libraries is LGPLv2+.  This lets us use
the library with applications with different licenses like MIT and not force the
application as a whole to fall under the GPL.

Note that working with upstreams that have their own licenses or needs of the community
that will be using the software can lead to different licensing choices on a case-by-case
basis.  This guidance is meant to make life easier for us as we develop code while
supporting the expansion of free software.

As the author of bodhi, I am ok with relicensing my contributions to
Bodhi as GPLv2+, which means GPLv2 or any later version.
