Hi Tim,
As per license disclaimer in qgis.cpp:
/***************************************************************************

so anyone could fork the entire source tree into GPL3 without license
problems.
I believe that only a decision needs to be made, without asking all
copyright holders in this case (moving to MIT or similar would require that)
Cheers,
Angelos

Hi all,
About GPLv3, is there any advance in this issue
http://hub.qgis.org/issues/3789?
We have discussed about this during the Valmiera meeting, without reaching
firm
conclusions. I would be in favour of moving to GPLv3, if feasible.
All the best.
Changing the license would require getting agreement of every developer who
ever contributed to QGIS and removing / rewriting code from those that we
can't track down or that don't agree. I think there are a 1000 other better
things we could be spending our time doing....
Regards
Tim
