Hi all,
Currently, BarnOwl is licensed under the Sleepycat license, because
that is what owl was licensed as when we initially grabbed its
code. Since then, kretch and nygren have relicensed the owl code under
the GPL (version 3 or later), at our request. I would like to follow
suit, and move all of BarnOwl to be available under the GPL.
If you're in the To: list of this email, you have one or more commits
in the BarnOwl git repository since we first imported the code from
owl CVS. If you are willing to relicense your contributions under the
GPLv3+, please let me know, either via Zephyr, email, or both. Once I
get ACKs from everyone involved, I will make the appropriate licensing
changes in the repository.
Thanks,
- Nelson
