Attention to all Smooks code contributors,

We have contacted you privately to prepare for this moment.

As part of our efforts to breath new life into Smooks, Tom Fennelly and I are proposing that Smooks's license is updated from LGPLv2.1 to LGPLv3 and dual-licensed with Apache License 2.0. This license change keeps Smooks opens source while adopting a permissive stance to modifications.

We now need the explicit consent from each and every one of you to legally alter the license without rewriting any code. Replying to all in this thread with a simple "Yes" or "No" will suffice.

Thank you,

Claude

„Yes"

(Although I’m not sure whether this even applies to me. AFAIR I’ve never actually contributed anything.)

Hello TrueCommerce team,


The Smooks development team is seeking to update Smooks's license as per the email below. Mr. Arvinder Singh was a a code contributor who used a Evenex/TrueCommerce email address for his committer ID. I am given to understand that he no longer works with you and, since the code was committed during work hours, we need TrueCommerce's explicit consent to legally alter the license. Replying to this thread with a simple "Yes" or "No" will suffice.

Thank you & stay safe,

Claude

Hi Claude,

First, really glad to see that you breathe new life into the project again! 

And the proposed change in the licensing model sounds good to me, so my answer is yes!

Keep up the good work!

best regards,
Bård
