Re: [PATCH 4/4] python/aqmp-tui: relicense as LGPLv2+

Hii John,

aqmp-tui, the async QMP text user interface tool, is presently licensed
as GPLv2+. I intend to include this tool as an add-on to an LGPLv2+
library package hosted on PyPI.org. I've selected LGPLv2+ to maximize
compatibility with other licenses while retaining a copyleft license.

To keep licensing matters simple, I'd like to relicense this tool as
LGPLv2+ as well in order to keep the resultant license of the hosted
release files simple -- even if library users won't "link against" this
command line tool.

Therefore, I am asking permission to loosen the license.

Niteesh is effectively the sole author of this code, with scattered
lines from myself.

Niteesh, if you agree to loosening the license on your work, you can
reply with a Reviewed-by line to let us know that you agree to the
change. If you disagree, an explicit 'nack' would be helpful.

There is no obligation for you to agree to this change, but it'd make
things easier for me if you did.

 

Thanks,
