From d716ae5469f1623ccaaf5c78a46878676bb53b49 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Jackson Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2014 00:11:10 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Licensing: Abolish `proprietary' part in GPL-vs-LGPL Having accepted substantial contributions I am no longer in a position to offer this. And anyway the offer was mostly there to put people off asking for something for nothing - no-one actually ever offered me money.
