Mailing list discussion was here:

Several more contributors replied to me personally to say that they
don't have a problem with the change (and several consider the change
to be an improvement).

The overwhelming majority of everything in the redo repo was written by
me, so I have the right to change the license unilaterally anyway,
subject to a few rules.  Since the new license actually removes
licensing/usage restrictions for everyone, this should be no problem.

# License

My version of redo was written without ever seeing redo code by Bernstein or
Grosskurth, so I own the entire copyright. It's distributed under the GNU
LGPL version 2. You can find a copy of it in the file called LICENSE.

minimal/do is in the public domain so that it's even easier
Grosskurth, so I own the entire copyright. It's distributed under the terms
of the [Apache License 2.0](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0),
which you can find in the file called
[LICENSE](https://github.com/apenwarr/redo/tree/master/LICENSE). (Previous
versions of redo were distributed under the GNU LGPL, but this [changed in
2018](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/redo-list/wLMZMxtn4wo).)

minimal/do is in the public domain so that it's as easy as possible
to include inside your own projects for people who don't
have a copy of redo.
