Licence change

[alexbirkett]

I'd like to use cassowary in a closed source Android app. My understanding is that LGPL make this difficult because you need to provide the end user with a way to update the library.

Greg Badros and Alan Borning have both agreed to release cassowary under the Apache 2.0 licence. I have emails that I can forward to prove this. I'll release any cassowary layout for android that I create under the same Apache 2.0 licence.

Would you be willing to licence your changes under Apache 2.0 too? Are there any other contributors to your fork who would need to be contacted?

Hi,

Yes I'm fine with releasing them under the Apache 2.0 license if the
original authors are. Please forward me their agreement to my e-mail
address.

I'm the only contributor to my fork.

Thanks

Regards
Erwin Bolwidt
