Hello all contributors,

It can be seen that there were considerations for MIT license in the beginning of development of this library. However, it was licensed under GPL.

I have raised a request to the owner of this library regarding license change and he has kindly agreed.

However, for this to happen approval is needed from every non-trivial contributor.

Implications fo this change are as follow:

  • All new versions are simply licensed under the new license.
  • Anyone who needs code licensed under the old license (GPL) can fork the earlier version.

So I am raising this issue for contributors to approve (or not) this request for license change.

Approvals needed for this to happen:

  1. @mgedmin
  2. @Nicolas-Reyland

Approvals that would make this transition easier:
3. @takos22
4. @jepler
5. @zzzeek
6. @timhoffm

It would be much help if contributors commented their position in this issue.

Regards,
Dominykas

I think we're missing only @timhoffm's agreement (see PRs #20, #21), and then we can switch findimports's licence to MIT.
