chore: update license copyright notice #10576
Conversation

What does "Copyright Cosmos" even mean. Is that a legal entity? Is that a blockchain? Is that a collective of chains? If it should refer to the cosmos hub token holder governance, it should say that. |
|
Please wait on this until we've had time to discuss with legal. Agree a change is appropriate but need to better understand implications first. |
|
closing this till there is a discussion with legal. We can reopen when it ready to be merged. |

I created this PR to start a discussion about what copyrights we should use. We can also consider re-licensing. I'm big supporter of Mozilla Public License v2 (MPL 2.0). The MPL is a simple copyleft license. The MPL's "file-level" copyleft is designed to encourage contributors to share modifications they make to your code, while still allowing them to combine your code with code under other licenses (open or proprietary) with minimal restrictions. See more at: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/FAQ/ |

The copyright is owned by the contributors. It should just say “Copyright Cosmos-SDK Authors” or something very simple. Changing licenses seems like a non-starter. |

Updating to Copyright Cosmos-SDK Authors |

Oh, seams I can't reopen the PR, will create a new PR |
