Subject: [bitcoin-dev]  Possible change to the MIT license
Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2018 10:09:25 +0000	[thread overview]

I do not know that Bitcoin's position is any weaker because of the terms that the software is licenced under.

I disagree completely with any licence change. As well as allowing for the use of a software, a licence is also a disclaimer for those responsible for the release. Changing a single word can have drastic implications should there ever be any action considered against any involved party or group. The current MIT licence is IMHO the right fit.


Regards,

Damian Williamson
