Hi all,
Here we go again. Just before the libjit-0.1.0 release we discussed
relaxing the libjit license. However his step has not been taken due
to some disagreements.
I would like to bring up this issue again for the libjit-0.1.2 release.
The reasons for relicensing libjit are as follows:
* other libraries with a similar scope use weaker licenses
(GNU lightning - LGPL, LLVM - something BSD-like)
* the current libjit license was already cited as one of the reasons
the project using it was abandoned (http://tromey.com/blog/?p=16)
and people keep voicing concerns about it as recently was the case
with the ruby-libjit.
So I would like to relicense libjit under LGPL v2 for the 0.1.2 release
As far as I remember the last time we discussed it all the major
contributors has already agreed on LGPL v2. Are there any abjections
to this now?
Regards,
Aleksey
