Changing Open Source Licenses

Satchel is Changing Licenses

Satchel will now use the Mozilla Public License 2.0 for all new releases and versions. With this change Satchel will no longer require larger works to be open-sourced under the same license it uses.

Permissions of this weak copyleft license are conditioned on making available source code of licensed files and modifications of those files under the same license (or in certain cases, one of the GNU licenses). Copyright and license notices must be preserved. Contributors provide an express grant of patent rights. However, a larger work using the licensed work may be distributed under different terms and without source code for files added in the larger work.

We will not enforce the old license, GNU General Public License v3.0, for Satchel versions using the older license. This will only apply for use in larger works. Old Satchel versions using GPLv3 may be enforced if you are to redistribute a closed source version of Satchel or with a different license.

No action is required, and this change is automatic. You do not need to change anything about your Satchel distribution.
