Relicense Cloje
It has come to my attention that the Eclipse Public License is incompatible with the GNU GPL. Among other implications, that means that it is currently not possible to use Cloje in a GPL'd program. That is extremely unfortunate and needs to be remedied.
Cloje should switch to a license that is compatible for use in both free (including GPL'd) and non-free software, but which still encourages improvements to Cloje to be contributed back to the project.
Note: It is possible to relicense Cloje, because it was written by myself, from scratch, in a clean-room fashion, and contains no code derived from Clojure. But, changing the license does make it extra important that contributions be carefully screened to prevent "contamination" from Clojure code.
TODO:
-
Evaluate candidate licenses and choose one -
Update LICENSE file and boilerplate in all source files -
Update CONTRIBUTING file to emphasize importance of clean-room implementation -
Add FAQ about why Cloje has different license than Clojure, and how it is possible
