+Relicensing NetworkManager GPL Code as LGPL-2.1+
+================================================
+
+This NetworkManager project consists of the daemon, client tools, and libnm.
+libnm is licensed LGPL-2.1+, while the rest is licensed under GPL-2.0+.
+
+
+Why Relicensing?
+================
+
+Mixing two licenses in the same source tree is cumbersome:
+
+1) We want to share code internally and reuse it. In particular under "shared/" directory
+there are internal static libraries that get linked both into LGPL and GPL code.
+That implies that this shared code itself must be LGPL licensed. Being unable to
+move code around within our source tree is a painful restriction. Possibly we get
+that wrong sometimes, wrongly moving GPL code as LGPL (either directly or by rewriting
+it based on GPL code).
+
+2) For example keyfile and ifcfg-rh implementations are GPL licensed as they
+are historically part of core. It would be useful to add this functionality
+to libnm, so that libnm users can handle the file formats directly. That is
+not possible without relicensing.
+
+3) Maybe one day we would relicense the entire source tree as LGPL-2.1+ to avoid
+this issue. This would require agreement from all copyright holders.
+
+
+Full relicensing (point 3) is a large effort, or maybe even impossible. However sometimes
+we may need to evaluate whether small parts can be relicensed (points 2 and 1). This
+file keeps track of copyright holders that agree or disapprove to such a license change.
+
+
+Which Code?
+===========
+
+This applies to all GPL-2.0+ code in commit a3e75f329446a93a61ca4c458a7657bd919f4fe6 ([1]) and
+all its parent commits.
+
+Since commit a3e75f329446a93a61ca4c458a7657bd919f4fe6 ([1]), the CONTRIBUTING file ([2]) makes
+it clear that all new contributions must to be provided under terms of LGPL-2.1+. So this
+approval process is only relevant for GPL-2.0+ code from before that. This was also announced on
+the mailing list on June 12 2019 ([3]). Note that the announcement was still talking about LGPL-2.0+
+but in the meantime we only request LGPL-2.1+ ([4]).
