Description

documentation

CoreTrace moved to the Apache License 2.0 at the end of March 2026:

Repository Before Since
coretrace GPL-3.0 Apache-2.0, 2026-03-29 (#33)
coretrace-compiler GPL-3.0 Apache-2.0, 2026-03-29
coretrace-stack-analyzer no license (all rights reserved) Apache-2.0, 2026-03-30

A license change needs the agreement of every author whose code is in the work. Apart from @SizzleUnrlsd, two people authored commits on main before the change:

  • @Arthurvroum: 7 commits in coretrace, 10 in coretrace-compiler, 7 in coretrace-stack-analyzer;
  • @shookapic: 2 commits in coretrace.

Contributions made since the change are already under Apache-2.0 (section 5 of the license).

@Arthurvroum, @shookapic: could you each reply with the sentence below? It records your agreement for those earlier contributions.

@Arthurvroum:

I, Arthur Mazeau, agree that my contributions to CoreTrace/coretrace, CoreTrace/coretrace-compiler and CoreTrace/coretrace-stack-analyzer made before their change to the Apache License 2.0 are licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.

@shookapic:

I, Cédric Roulof, agree that my contributions to CoreTrace/coretrace made before its change to the Apache License 2.0 are licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.

Once both have answered, this issue will be closed and linked from docs/licensing.md.
