generalize GPL exception
we have explicit approval from:
- Anton Khirnov <[email protected]>
- Jeremy Katz <[email protected]>
- Jesse Weaver <[email protected]>
- Marc Hoersken <[email protected]>
- Michael J Gruber <[email protected]>
- Noa Resare <[email protected]> (formerly Daniel)
- Oliver Runge <[email protected]>
- Patrick Steinhardt <[email protected]>
- Theodore Ts'o <[email protected]>
notably missing approval from:
- Michael Elkins <[email protected]>
further missing approval from:
- Eivind Eklund <[email protected]>
- Georgy Kibardin <[email protected]>
- Jack Stone <[email protected]>
- Jan Synacek <[email protected]>
still, because
- isync already contains an exception for OpenSSL,
- every contributor implicitly agreed to that exception, and
- that exception exists specifically because of the advertising clause
in OpenSSL < v3's license,
i'm assuming that the MIA contributors are actually fine with the
proposed change.
