In case the LGPLv4 arrives and I am not alive to approve/review it, the lesser of evils is have give blanket approval of all future LGPL versions (as published by the FSF). The worse evil is to be stuck with a license which cannot guarantee the Free-ness of this project in the future. This unfortunately means the FSF can theoretically come out with license terms I do not agree with, but the LGPLv2.1 and LGPLv3 will always remain an option to all users. --- LICENSE | 8 +++----- raindrops.gemspec | 2 +- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/LICENSE b/LICENSE index 4dde807..a3dbff6 100644 --- a/LICENSE +++ b/LICENSE @@ -4,9 +4,8 @@ revision control for names and email addresses of all of them.
