Change ECOS license to Apache about ecos

[benozadka]

Hello,
Are there any updates regarding this issue? Perhaps is there an option to modify the license to Apache v2 for older forks?

Dear all, in search for a permissively licensed SOCP solver I came across this thread. Please allow me to ask a follow-up question - the top-level README still states a GPL license. Will ecos be eventually released under Apache v2, is it worth waiting for this (@adomahidi)? Thank you very much in advance and best regards!

Hello @adomahidi ; although I support the GPL myself and have used it in the past I would encourage you to complete this switch. ECOS is a great piece of code and would be sad to see it replaced with lesser ones, in various applications. Thanks, Enzo

Hi. I applaud the license being changed to a more permissive one, but I don't feel a need to read a bunch of legal fine print and sign my name to it. I will just tell you right here that I have absolutely zero interest in asserting any rights I may have on any ecos code, and that I hereby waive any and all such rights -- please feel completely free to go ahead and use my code for whatever.
