Subject: [PULL 08/17] python/aqmp-tui: relicense as LGPLv2+
Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2022 11:15:51 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220421151600.984189-9-jsnow@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220421151600.984189-1-jsnow@redhat.com>

aqmp-tui, the async QMP text user interface tool, is presently licensed
as GPLv2+. I intend to include this tool as an add-on to an LGPLv2+
library package hosted on PyPI.org. I've selected LGPLv2+ to maximize
compatibility with other licenses while retaining a copyleft license.

To keep licensing matters simple, I'd like to relicense this tool as
LGPLv2+ as well in order to keep the resultant license of the hosted
release files simple -- even if library users won't "link against" this
command line tool.

Therefore, I am asking permission to loosen the license.

Niteesh is effectively the sole author of this code, with scattered
lines from myself.
