Relicense to this crate to dual MIT OR Apache-2.0 #201
Description
This licensing scheme gives maximum flexibility for downstream users. Apache 2.0 includes an explicit patent grant and retaliation clause, which protects users from patent litigation. With dual MIT and Apache-2.0 licensing, the user may choose any of these two at their discretion.
This is a well stablished standard in the rust-bitcoin and Rust ecosystems:
- getfloresta/Floresta
- mit-dci/rustreexo
- bitcoindevkit/bdk
- lightningdevkit/rust-lightning
- rust-lang/rust
- rust-lang/cargo
In order to relicense we would need explicit approval from all contributors which have made meaningful contributions (see getfloresta/Floresta#859 as an example).
If you're on the below list and agree with this change please add a comment with
I hereby re-license my previous contributions to
rust-electrum-clientunder Apache 2.0 in addition to the existing MIT license.
