I received a similar invitation to change licence from the Google team; I told them I did not want to suppress the LPPL licence; they offered me the choice of three licences: Apache 2.0, BSD-3 Clause, amd MIT licence. They offered me the possibility to maintain a double licence agrrement, for example LPPL+Apache, or LPPL +MIT.
They say that the LPPL is too stringent.

May be I submit a similar request to the team, but I'd prefer not to.

The new license (BSD-3-clause) removes some freedoms and adds redistribution requirements the previous file did not have.
Other than the license statements in the comments, the file is unchanged.
I'm curious as to why this change is necessary, considering the impact of the added license requirements. I also wonder if this would require LaTeX to include an additional copyright statement in it's documentation and/or binary.

    Good morning.

    Dear /hyph-utf8 package maintainers/,

    As a copyright owner of pt
    
<http://mirror.ctan.org/language/hyph-utf8/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/tex/hyph-pt.tex>,
    I need to have that file replaced in TUG's repository, and as part
    of the hyph-utf8 package, due to a change to the Software License
    (and other minor changes).

    The other copyright owner (J.Joao Dias Almeida, [email protected]
    <mailto:[email protected]>) is in CC: in case you need to contact him.

    The new version of the file is attached.

    Sincerely,

    -- Pedro J. de Rezende
