Hi, |
| 2 |
recently, there's been some worries about the changes and new |
| 3 |
requirements the ion upstream, tuomov, put forth in a new LICENSE for |
| 4 |
ion-3. It's main additions are a "timely response clause", which |
| 5 |
requires us to get the same keywords for a newly released version as the |
| 6 |
previous had within 28 days. Another point is the "no patches" clause, |
| 7 |
which prohibits distributions from carrying a "significantly modified" |
| 8 |
ion-3 release under the ion name. |

As this changes are not properly reflected in any existing license in |
| 11 |
our tree, i'd like to add the attached original license. I'm still |
| 12 |
undecided about a name for it. |
| 13 |
The new release candidate will be up in the tree once a new name is |
| 14 |
decided. |

For reference, all the flames, announcements and discussion are in this |
