We have agreed with the main developers of upstream WLED to use EUPL-1.2 in both repositories.

This PR is to change the previous licence terms (GPLv3) of the MM-specific source code and adopt EUPL-1.2.
EUPL-1.2 is very similar to GPLv3 and applies worldwide. Unlike GPLv3, which is basically just compatible with itself, code released under EUPL-1.2 is compatible with a well-defined list of other open source licences.

This PR is has two purposes:

  • collect agreements of contributors who added source to WLED-MM since we moved from MIT to GPLv3 - i.e. contributions merged into mdev after August 2023.
  • align with the licensing of Aircoookie/WLED, to ensure that contributions can flow in both directions without causing legal hazards.

Important

  • If you don't want your contribution to be covered by the EUPL-1.2 terms: please use this PR to make your voice heard!

  • As a contributor who agrees: please approve this PR or comment with "OK".

@Brandon502 @arneboe please inform us if you agree (could not add you as reviewers 😅 but your contributions during the last year are very important)

@tonyxforce I remember we had a chat where you stated that its fine for you if we contribute your "party jerk" effect to upstream WLED. Nevertheless, please be invited to participate in this topic.
