I do, forwarded him the email and I’ll loop you in if he doesn’t reply to
the ticket and responds to me instead.

@chmorgan I see "Phillip Lemon" in the copyright notices, but no commits from him are recorded in git, any idea what did he contribute? |

Hi Ayoub.
He provided permission to relicense his contributions to any license back
in 2009 when the lgpl license was made explicit. Can’t recall what the
contributions were. I have an email from him stating this. I can ask him if
he’s ok with me sharing the email with you, if you’d like something more
formal, but it’s been a while since we’ve had any communications, it sure
if the email address is active etc.
Chris

Currently, sharppcap uses the LGPL license, this prevents using sharppcap in AOH and making self-contained apps, without making the whole application GPL or LGPL licensed.
This discussion is an attempt to get the approval from all the copyright holders and contributors of the project, to switch the license to MIT.
If your name is listed below, please write a comment to explicitly approve or decline the license change.
Known Copyright Holders
Known Contributors
Verdict
Mozilla's lawyers believed it would be acceptable for Mozilla to make a good-faith effort to contract all contributors and then re-license, even if 5% of the contributors were unreachable (and none of the contributors disapproved).
you can read more about it in https://law.stackexchange.com/a/195
In our case, the contributors that voted, all voted in favor of changing the license, the ones that did not, have code contribution that consist of less than 1% of the current code base.
The copyright holders all agreed to change the license, except for "Evan Plaice" who is yet to reply, his contribution is limited to tutorial and documentation, thus does not consist a blocker for changing the library license.
Based on the votes, the small contribution size of the of the ones who did not vote, we may proceed on changing the project license, still I would give it a few days in hope that the remaining contributors do reply.
