Hmmm that line in the e-mail is very different from what is suggested by their public announcements, like for example https://www.coreinfrastructure.org/news/announcements/2017/03/openssl-re-licensing-apache-license-v-20-encourage-broader-use-other-foss . To quote from that section: “This re-licensing activity will make OpenSSL, already the world's most widely-used FOSS encryption software, more convenient to incorporate in the widest possible range of free and open source software," said Mishi Choudhary, Legal Director of Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC) and counsel to OpenSSL. “OpenSSL's team has carefully prepared for this re-licensing, and their process will be an outstanding example of 'how to do it right.’ This gives me the confidence that they will not take a dubious unlawful approach, even though I find the wording in the e-mail dubious as well. To all the people reading this and caring about the OpenSSL license change: please visit https://license.openssl.org/cgi-bin/authors.py . Here you can see a list of contributors who have not yet responded to the license change request, and helping with getting OpenSSL to reach them will surely help with the license change. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
