Subject: Could /Documentation/technical/commit-graph.txt be relicensed under a permissive license?
Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2019 22:31:18 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <E2770343-BB39-458C-835E-04F0753783C3@mail.ru> (raw)
Hello. https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/technical/commit-graph.txt documents a file format for exporting commit graphs for consumption by third-party tools. But the license of this file is not permissive, and the license of git itself is GPL, so I am not allowed to use these 2 files to create an own permissive-licensed tool reading this file. This probably defeats the purpose of exporting these info and then reading it with another applications.
Could the doc file be relicensed under a permissive license?
