In 2013 Robin Stuart and all developers that contributed to the code agreed +to change the license to a less restrictive one (see ZINT mailing list of May 2013 for +related mails) under the following conditions: +- the names of original copyright holder Robin Stuart and contributors are not removed, + neither from sources nor from the manual +- the documentation is done in British English (as Robin said: "Oh, and please don't + replace the word "colour" with "color" in the documentation - that really annoys me!") + +Change to BSD-license is done for backend and therefore for ZINT shared library only, for +the frontends and Qt4-backend the GPL is still valid. Since BSD-license is GPL-compatible +this gives the possibility to include ZINT library in own products or link against it from +own software.
