From Crem:
While it doesn't have too many authors, it may make sense to re-license it to "GPL with exception" rather than simple "GPL", so that it could be bundled with nvidia cudnn libraries.

From borg
@dje I suggest the exception wording from Leela Zero, they have added TensorRT to the exceptions. See leela-zero/leela-zero#2032

As also suggested by Crem:
If Ceres will have exceptions to GPL added, maybe it will also make sense to add some Microsoft .net-related libraries there, not only nvidia.
(if it's considered to eventually run it on android, asm-js or google cloud/TPU).

As also noted in the same chat, it makes sense to have it licensed under "GPLv3 or later" rather than just "GPLv3".
