Linked Draft Proposal

Allow also GNU License for platform contributions

Summary

Proposed change in terms and conditions of Platform grant contributions to also allow a GNU License: "I agree to work and publish the source code and its derivatives produced for this grant under an Apache 2.0 license or a GNU license"

Abstract

In the Platform category, right now there is a requirement to check in order to submit a proposal: "I agree to work and publish the source code and its derivatives produced for this grant under an Apache 2.0 license"

Change proposed to also allow a GNU License: "I agree to work and publish the source code and its derivatives produced for this grant under an Apache 2.0 license or a GNU license"

... apart from this, I think the DAO could works on its own License, for example, opensource but limited use to projects within the scope of Decentraland. But this would go in a different proposal

Motivation

Allow other open-source licenses and not only Apache 2

Specification

In the Platform category, right now there is a requirement to check in order to submit a proposal. "I agree to work and publish the source code and its derivatives produced for this grant under an Apache 2.0 license"

Change proposed to also allow a GNU License: "I agree to work and publish the source code and its derivatives produced for this grant under an Apache 2.0 license or a GNU license"

"a GNU license" should link to https://www.tldrlegal.com/search?query=GNU

Impacts

Not necessary to mention impacts, more options for licenses will be allowed.

Implementation Pathways

Change text and link on each necessary grant proposal submission, in the Final consent section.

Conclusion

The change is minimal and it allows more options for contributors
