The source code for Chandler is currently licensed under the GPL. This was done because at some point in the past, we thought that a dual license strategy similar to that used by MySQL might be a viable model for the sustainability of the foundation. In today's world, that doesn't seem to make much sense. There are also some good reasons for Chandler to move away from GPL licensing

1. The GPL viral provisions would force parcel developers to license their code under the GPL. 2. We want to reduce the proliferation of licenses used by OSAF projects. All the rest of our server code is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license, and some of our other projects are licensed under the MIT license.

What do people think about relicensing the Chandler code base under the Apache 2.0 license?
