Hello PoDoFo users,
present and past contributors (BCC),

This is a final status update regarding the PoDoFo library dual
MPL-2.0/LGPL2+ relicensing effort, which is now complete and has been
pushed[1] to the repository.

To achieve this result, we carried out a small number of localized
code rewrites, as we did not receive relicensing permission from a
couple of contributors. All such interventions and analyses are
documented in the corresponding reports[2]. Tools retain their original
GPL2+ license for the time being.

Dominik and I act as custodians of the relicensing authorizations
granted by the copyright holders.

To mark this milestone, PoDoFo 1.1 will be released in the coming
days, after testing the last modifications and fixes. Thank you
to everyone who supported this effort.

Francesco Pretto
Dominik Seichter
