    Relicense FuseSoC under the 2-Clause BSD license · 8ab8f59c
    Olof Kindgren authored
    This commit relicenses FuseSoC from GPLv3 to the 2-Clause (or
    "Simplified") BSD License. All copyright holders have been contacted,
    and they have agreed to this license change.
    
    Motivation: We have had multiple users expressing interest in using
    (parts of) FuseSoC as a library. Use cases include FuseSoC generators
    which make use of FuseSoC-internal classes, or the integration of
    FuseSoC into other build systems. With FuseSoC licensed under the GPLv3,
    these users have only a single choice: they must license their code
    under GPLv3 as well, something which often isn't possible.
    
    To make FuseSoC usable to more people we are re-licensing the FuseSoC
    code base under the 2-clause BSD license. This is the same license we
    chose for edalize.
