In the mean time we're recommending MPLv2 to other ZeroMQ projects. -Pieter On Thu, Jan 28, 2016 at 6:53 PM, Arnaud Kapp <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > > You'd better wait for Peter to answer as he'd provide a more authoritative > answer. > > As far as I know we're not even trying to move libzmq to MPLv2 because the > codebase is rather old and it'd be hard to track down every contributor. > New Zeromq-related projects (bindings, etc) are using MPL, and some related > project have been moved to MPL: zmqpp for example -- however the number > of contributor was around 20 people so it was much easier to contact > everyone. > > Not sure if it helps, but we provide the "link exception" that many people > using the LGPL also provide. > > On Thu, Jan 28, 2016 at 6:12 PM, Sam Ruby <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> I'm not certain where to best ask this question.
