Proposal: Relicense from EPL to Apache 2.0 #27

@whilo

Description

@whilo

Summary

I'd like to propose changing the license of this repository from the Eclipse Public License (EPL) to the Apache License 2.0.

Rationale

  • Apache 2.0 is more widely recognized and adopted in the open source community
  • Better compatibility with other projects and corporate contributions
  • Simpler and more permissive, while still providing patent protections
  • Aligns with many other Clojure ecosystem libraries

Request for Consent

Since this is a license change, I'm seeking consent from all contributors:

@anmonteiro @jcf @kordano @mikekap @mpenet @MrEbbinghaus @purrgrammer @TimoKramer

Please reply with a comment indicating whether you approve this license change. A simple "+1" or "approved" is sufficient.

Deadline

I'll leave this open for 2 weeks (until March 6, 2026) to give everyone time to respond.

What happens next

Once all contributors have approved (or after the deadline with reasonable participation), I'll update the LICENSE file and any relevant documentation.

Thank you for your contributions to hasch!
