Re-license to BSD

[vincenthz]

The license is currently GPL2 without any exceptions, and this is causing problems. I'll like all the ocaml-sha source code to be relicensed under BSD (all the .c .h are effectively already under this license in the haskell packages where you can find them)

Also there's one line contributed by @samoht, please add your agreement/disagreement here

adding @avsm

[samoht]

I agree.

There's also code from the following people:

• ada51a7: missing big array functions from Goswin von Brederlow (@mrvn ?)
• 02e2685: a comment fix from Eric Cooper (will email separately)
• d70bbff ac38f28: build fixes from Florent Monnier (@fccm ?)
• 162ba4d 001dfc5: build fixes from Forrest L Norvell (@othiym23)
• 9b171d0: endianness improvements by Vincent Bernadoff (@vbmithr)

Could you let me know whether you agree or disagree with relicensing your contributions to ocaml-sha under the ISC variant of the BSD license?

Thanks!

Any news on this?

[djs55]

Eric tells me he agrees via email, so that just leaves

• from Goswin (@mrvn ?) (I missed a few on my first walk through)
  • ada51a7: missing big array functions
  • 4f91e78: safe string functions
  • 1683dd5: context copy function
  • fc3eb63: incremental checksumming
  • ec9d5ab: release the runtime lock
• from Florent (@fccm ?)
  • d70bbff ac38f28: build fixes (@fccm ?)

I'll send each of them an email in case they don't check their github notifications (or in case I guessed the wrong github id)

Sorry to be a nag, but any news on this? (I would like to use ocaml-sha for a project, but the license is a problem currently).

[mrvn]

I agree, sorry for the delay.

[djs55]

Thanks everyone (and sorry for the delay on my part too). Since the remaining patches are build fixes I don't think I need to worry about them.

[nojb]

Are you planning a new release with the new license?

[djs55]

@nojb I'll change the license headers and make a new release today.

[nojb]

Great, thanks!
