Switch to ISC license

oschwald opened this issue · comments

I would like to switch all the code in this library to the ISC license. The reason for this is to make this library compatible with code that is licensed under the GPL v2.

@oxtoacart, @alicebob, and @erikdubbelboer, as you all contributed non-trivial patches to this library, would you confirm in this issue that this is acceptable to you? Thanks!

Yes that's acceptable to me.

What made you choose ISC over MIT for example if I may ask?

Thanks for asking! Both ISC and MIT work for me.

I picked ISC over MIT as it removes language that is no longer necessary under modern international copyright law. This makes the license clearer and easier to understand.

Ok makes sense.
