1 Greetings,

3 I am no longer interested in maintaining ZeroTierOne, since it is no longer free software [1].
4 These new licensing schemes seem suspicious to me, and I really have no interest in supporting proprietary software, (even if it will be Apache-2.0 in 2023).

6 I will work on getting the package bumped to 1.4.6 since there is already an open PR for that [2], but after that this package will need a new maintainer.
