Luxor is Dual-Licensed (GPL + Commercial License)

  Allow me to repost my mail from the developer list.
Here we go:

  Sorry for the confusion. Luxor is dual licensed,
that is, Luxor is available for free under the GNU
GPL. If the GPL rules don't work for you, you're more
than welcome to get a classic license.

   Note, that if you contribute you will get a "free"
classic license that frees you from the GNU GPL
share-alike clause.

  We (the core Luxor developers) canceled the Apache
2.0 license switch over because with no sponsor behind
Luxor the free-for-all license would kill the project.

  So far all promises by companies using Luxor in
production to get involved and contribute back were
just empty promises. Even after offering to switch the
license to an Apache 2.0 license they showed no
interest and instead they continue to violate the GPL
share-alike clause and enjoy a free ride abusing other
people's goodwill.

  ---

  Sorry if this sounds too harsh. If anyone is
interested in getting Luxor licensend under the Apache
2.0 licensen I invite you to contribute and join the
rank of the Luxor core developers. It's the Luxor core
developers choice and job to decide the license. If
enough Luxor core developers prefer the Apache 2.0
license, we will switch over. For now, however, the
consensus is to stick to the GPL and offer a classic
commercial license for those who don't contribute
anything or don't want to be bound by the GPL
share-alike clause.

  Let us know if this makes sense to you.
