generalize GPL exception
we have explicit approval from:
- Anton Khirnov <an...@khirnov.net>
- Jeremy Katz <ka...@fedoraproject.org>
- Jesse Weaver <pianohac...@gmail.com>
- Marc Hoersken <i...@marc-hoersken.de>
- Michael J Gruber <mich...@grubix.eu>
- Noa Resare <n...@resare.com> (formerly Daniel)
- Oliver Runge <oliver.ru...@gmail.com>
- Patrick Steinhardt <p...@pks.im>
- Theodore Ts'o <ty...@mit.edu>
notably missing approval from:
- Michael Elkins <m...@sigpipe.org>
further missing approval from:
- Eivind Eklund <eiv...@freebsd.org>
- Georgy Kibardin <geo...@kibardin.name>
- Jack Stone <jwjst...@fastmail.fm>
- Jan Synacek <jsyna...@redhat.com>
still, because
- isync already contains an exception for OpenSSL,
- every contributor implicitly agreed to that exception, and
- that exception exists specifically because of the advertising clause
in OpenSSL < v3's license,
i'm assuming that the MIA contributors are actually fine with the
proposed change.
