Hi,
While looking into merging the network and network-bytestring packages, I noticed that their licenses differ slightly. I've attached both licenses in the end of this email for reference.
How do I merge the two licenses? I own the copyright on network-bytestring, so I could change that license to be the same as the one used for network. Is this the right way to go? Is it possible to move the whole resulting library to the two-clause BSD license, which is more common on Hackage? Would that mean getting approval from everyone who has ever contributed to the code base?
Why not just stick with network's BSD3 (modifying "the university" to "the copyright holders" or what have you)? This is the first I've heard of the BSD2, is there any particular reason you wish to omit the third clause (thereby allowing people to use your name to promote derivative works)? -- Live well, ~wren
