Solus seeks MPL-2.0 relicensing to enable aerynOS collaboration

Key Takeaway

Solus is contacting past contributors to relicense code under MPL-2.0 to allow sharing package recipes with aerynOS.

Summary

The Solus project is working to remove licensing barriers that prevent collaboration with aerynOS. To facilitate the sharing of package recipes, the project is reaching out to previous contributors to secure approval for relicensing under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 (MPL-2.0).

Licensing for collaboration

  • The goal is to transition to MPL-2.0.
  • This change specifically aims to allow the sharing of package recipes with the aerynOS project.
  • The process requires securing explicit approval from past contributors.

Why it matters

This move could strengthen the relationship between Solus and aerynOS by allowing shared development resources and package management efficiencies.
