-Copyright information:
-
-CrackLib was originally licensed with a variant of the Artistic
-license. In the interests of wider acceptance and more modern
-licensing, it was switched with the original author's blessing to GPL
-v2.
-
-This approval was carried out in email discussions in 2005, and has
-been reconfirmed as of 2007-10-01 with the following email from Alec
-Muffett. Cracklib's license was changed from the GPL to the LGPL after
-consensus of all previous developers in October 2008, effective with
-release 2.8.15 released on 2009-11-19. See the email discussion below
-for both license changes.
-
-
--------------------------------------
-
-
------------
-EFFECTIVE OCT 2008, LICENSE IS BEING CHANGED TO LGPL-2.1 (though not reflected
-in released code until Nov 2009 - slow release cycle...)
------------

-Discussion thread from mailing list archive, with approval from everyone actively

-      I am sympathetic. Guys, what do you reckon?
-
-      What I am hearing so far is that LGPL makes sense, since it can be

-      I would like to see it under LGPL as well. I think it is in everyone's
-      best interests to have as secure systems as possible, and I think tainting
-      it via GPL will just make it less likely that the library gets used, and
-      will not usually cause companies/developers to GPL the dependent code
-      (where it is not already GPL).
-
-      I like GPL, I use it when I can, but I don't think that it's the correct
-      license in this situation.

-      My apologies for not chiming in in anything resembling a reasonable
-      timeframe.
-
-      I'd also suggest the LGPL, for the reason you noted above. Alternately,
-      GPLv2 with the option of using the library under a later version of the
-      GPL would permit applications which were released under version 3 of the
-      GPL to use the library, too, which would be sufficient for the packages
-      which are included in Fedora. FWIW, I'd personally lean toward LGPL.
-
-      In any case, I thank you both for working on sorting this out.
-
-      Cheers,
