chore: relicense as MIT OR Apache-2.0

[nyurik]

I would like to propose can-dbc switch to MIT+Apache2 license model. This is the same as most other Rust projects, makes it easier to work with bigger projects, and makes it easier to port code from https://github.com/oxibus/rrdbc

oops, I just realized my remotes were mis-configured, and I created this PR from the primary repo - thus violating my own recommendations. My apologies, all future work will be done from my personal fork.

@marcelbuesing since you have done 99% of the work on this code - could you comment and/or merge this? I don't feel I have the right to do that :)

@erzoe @pbert519 would be great if could also confirm that you are ok with relicensing from MIT to MIT / Apache 2.0, as you have also contributed!

[erzoe]

I'm ok with that

I am fine with the relicense to MIT or Apache 2.0, too. Am 4. Oktober 2025 19:28:36 MESZ schrieb Marcel ***@***.***>:
