Solution: migrate to MPLv2, as explained here http://zeromq.org/area:licensing

Could you kindly reply "I hereby agree to publish my contributions to Zyre under the MPLv2 license"?

If you have any objection to relicensing your contributions, let me know the reasons. Thanks!

@hintjens I think there should be a guide in the C4.1 about changing/upgrading licenses that mentions whenever the number of collective owners/collaborator greater than 50% of the total (excluding inactive contributors for whatever reason they're inactive) agrees to upgrade license then the relicensing should proceed .

This wouldn't stand, legally. Every author has to explicitly license their work. Today they do this by the act of pushing their patched fork back to GitHub. Asking for different permissions means adding a manual step. We used to do this in ZeroMQ, it was a hassle.

It would also be unfair to minority contributors, and half the point of the current scheme is to make relicensing difficult.

We already went through this with CZMQ. A minority of authors don't respond to emails and have to be chased up by hand. A small number don't respond at all, and their code can be removed/rewritten.

@Asmod4n it's in the Zyre issue tracker and the link to this page is #327

... hang on, not sure what we're talking about here. I don't see you on the Zyre authors list.

@hintjens Thanks for shedding light on the history and legalities

I think @Asmod4n is talking about the same licensing issue that happened on CZMQ.

I think there should be a guide in the C4.1 about changing/upgrading licenses that mentions whenever the number of collective owners/collaborator greater than 50% of the total (excluding inactive contributors for whatever reason they're inactive) agrees to upgrade license then the relicensing should proceed .

Such a policy would probably have to be coupled with a contributor license agreement (CLA) that each contributor signs in order to be legally sound. And as @hintjens mentioned, it would be somewhat contrary to the intentions of our contribution policies anyway.

@awynne as your patches came in after we opened this issue, could you state your agreement? Then we're set for relicensing... :)
