Licensing issue: ssri is not permissively-licensed! #2057
Description
Problem
Yew is using ssri as one of its dependencies. That's great! The problem is that ssri@6 uses a non-permissive Parity license, which means that while Yew can keep being licensed the way it is, people using Yew in proprietary situations would not be compliant with this license because they're pulling in ssri as a dependency anyway.
The good news: because of this, and because I don't want to cause any trouble for anyone who may have accidentally used ssri like this, I've released [email protected], which changes the Parity-licensed code to be Apache-2.0 instead, which is 100% compatible.
As an additional thing: I hereby grant usage of [email protected] and below to anyone using it through Yew, as if it had been licensed to them under Apache-2.0. Hopefully this declaration also means that previously-released Yew versions are not "vulnerable" to this licensing situation. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to solidify this promise, as I have no intention on jumping on anyone over this. I just want Rust hacks to be good and positive <3.
