Re-licensing open source projects with contributors permission.

This tool will try to rewrite entire Git history of a project to remove one or multiple contributors commit AKA code from the history after one or multiple contributors approved re-licensing. This tries to address cases when getting approval from one or multiple contributor is not an option. This tool can be used in cases like:

  • Contributor died thus can not approve re-licensing
  • Unresponsive contributor
  • Contributor won't allow re-licensing
  • Fork of the main project took different directions
