At many organizations, it is difficult or cumbersome to use LGPL-licensed packages, but a number of those organizations have expressed interest in contributing to Spack. The Apache 2.0 license contains important protection against patent aggression, but it is not compatible with the GPL, version 2. The MIT license allows Spack to be integrated with GPLv2 projects. We believe that this combination will appeal to the broadest possible base of users and contributors, and that it will enable us to grow the Spack community most effectively.\r\n\r\n### What do contributors need to do?\r\nWe are asking for permission from *all* contributors to change the Spack license from LGPL-2.1 to a dual MIT/Apache 2.0 license for their past contribution(s).\r\n\r\nIf you agree to have all the code that you have contributed to Spack be relicensed in this way, please copy the message below, fill in the blanks, and paste it either:\r\n1. into a comment on Spack issue https://github.com/spack/spack/issues/9137, or\r\n2. into an email to [maintainers@spack.io](mailto:maintainers@spack.io)\r\n\r\nHere is the message text:\r\n> My name is _________________________, and I am a contributor to Spack. I have used or may have used the following email address(es): ______________________________. I consent to change the current license contained in the License file at https://github.com/spack/spack/blob/develop/LICENSE from the LGPL-2.1 license to the MIT License and Apache License 2.0 with respect to all of my contributions to Spack.\r\n\r\nBy granting this permission, you are confirming that you have the right to make your contribution(s) to Spack and to grant this permission, and that if you made your contribution(s) in the course of your employment, that such contributions and consent have been authorized by your employer.\r\n\r\nIf we do not hear from you, we will assume that you do not consent to the relicensing and we will not relicense your contribution(s).\r\n\r\n### Discussion\r\nIf you have any questions or concerns, please raise them by commenting on this issue.  We will try our best to respond promptly.\r\n\r\nWe are grateful to all the contributors who have contributed to Spack and look forward to their help and support in this effort!\r\n\r\nThanks!"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/spack/spack/issues/comments/417572518","html_url":"https://github.com/spack/spack/issues/9144#issuecomment-417572518","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/spack/spack/issues/9144","id":417572518,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQxNzU3MjUxOA==","user":{"login":"tgamblin","id":299842,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjI5OTg0Mg==","avatar_url":"https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/299842?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgamblin","html_url":"https://github.com/tgamblin","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgamblin/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgamblin/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgamblin/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgamblin/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgamblin/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgamblin/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgamblin/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgamblin/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/tgamblin/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-08-31T07:04:22Z","updated_at":"2018-08-31T07:04:22Z","author_association":"MEMBER","body":"- [ ] @estebanpauli\r\n- [ ] @f-sim\r\n- [ ] @fanne-stat\r\n- [ ] @floquet\r\n- [ ] @fpruvost\r\n- [ ] @futuretristan\r\n- [ ] @fwang2\r\n- [ ] @g-mathias\r\n- [ ] @gahansen\r\n- [ ] @gardner48\r\n- [ ] @gartung\r\n- [ ] @gilmartinez\r\n- [ ] @glennpj\r\n- [ ] @gmatteo\r\n- [ ] @gonsie\r\n- [ ] @goxberry\r\n- [ ] @grondo\r\n- [ ] @gweodoo\r\n- [ ] @gzagaris\r\n- [ ] @hartzell\r\n- [ ] @hauten\r\n- [ ] @healther\r\n- [ ] @hegner\r\n- [ ] @hfp\r\n- [ ] @homerdin\r\n- [ ] @hppritcha\r\n- [ ] @ibaned\r\n- [ ] @irisTa56\r\n- [ ] @isuruf\r\n- [ ] @iulian787\r\n- [ ] @ivotron\r\n- [ ] @jack-morrison\r\n- [ ] @jadickson\r\n- [ ] @jadoro\r\n- [ ] @jasonfenglu\r\n- [ ] @jayavanth\r\n- [ ] @jcftang\r\n- [ ] @jedbrown\r\n- [ ] @jgalarowicz\r\n- [ ] @jimmy04500\r\n- [ ] @jiseung\r\n- [ ] @jkelling\r\n- [ ] @jlingema\r\n- [ ] @jmjwozniak\r\n- [ ] @johnwfinigan\r\n- [ ] @jonwong12\r\n- [ ] @joshuata\r\n- [ ] @jppelteret\r\n- [ ] @jprotze\r\n- [ ] @jrood-nrel"}}
