# Permission to Relicense under MPLV2 This directory collects grants from individuals and firms that hold copyrights in ZeroMQ to permit licensing the ZeroMQ code under the [Mozilla Public License, version 2](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/). See [GitHub Pull Request #1917](https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/pull/1917), the [0MQ Licensing Page](http://zeromq.org/area:licensing) and [original iMatix zeromq-dev license grant](http://lists.zeromq.org/pipermail/zeromq-dev/2016-April/030288.html) for some background information. Please create a separate file in this directory for each individual or firm holding copyright in ZeroMQ, named after the individual or firm holding the copyright. Each patch must be made with a GitHub handle that is clearly associated with the copyright owner, to guarantee the identity of the signatory. Please avoid changing the files created by other individuals or firms granting a copyright license over their copyrights (if rewording is required contact them and ask them to submit an updated version). This makes it easier to verify that the license grant was made by an authorized GitHub account.
