<br>
Umpteenth draft of this mail, but I think we should consider relicensing<br>
the GPL code in Krita to LGPL.<br>
<br>
One reason is that now that Krita is on its own, the mix of LGPL library<br>
code inherited from koffice/calligra and GPL library code inherited from<br>
Krita makes it hard to move code around; like we just did in the svg<br>
branch, creating the kritacommand library from code from krita/image<br>
and libs/kundo2. That code needs to be relicensed to LGPL before we<br>
merge the branch, of course.<br>
<br>
Another reason is that there are too many macOS users who get confused<br>
when they install an application that's not in the app store, and we<br>
cannot publish GPL software in the app store. I wish I could just shrug<br>
that off, and I've done that until 3.1, but it's getting quite a<br>
support burden.<br>
<br>
I haven't found a script yet that will figure out who owns copyright<br>
on the original GPL'ed krita code only -- running things like git fame<br>
only works on the whole repo, most of which is LGPL already...<br>
