Hi kvark,

I'm emailing you to regarding relicensing several components of Servo. Thus far we have not properly distributed Servo's source code under an open source license and I am trying to rectify this situation.

The Servo project will be using two primary licensing schemes. The core parts of servo will fall under the Mozilla Public License version 2 (MPL2). This is a 'weak copyleft' license - users who make changes to the source code and then distribute them are required to make their changes available, similarly to the GPL. Many peripheral components of servo will be dual MIT/Apache 2 licensed, the same as Rust. These are permissive licenses, the terms of which are included below.

This email is specifically about your contributions to rust-stb-image, which will be dual MIT/Apache 2 licenses.

If you agree with these terms please indicate your assent by responding to this email with the phrase "I agree to license all my existing and future contributions to rust-stb-image under both the MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses, given below", and leave the remaining text quoted.

Regards, Brian Anderson
