Description

Given NVIDIA's broad competitiveness across numerous industries, the prior license creates a situation where any usage of Warp violates the NVIDIA Software License for Warp. Maybe others are OK with contributing to a project with rules which prohibit any and all use, but I find that disturbing, so I open this pull request to re-license NVIDIA Warp as Apache-2.0 OR MIT.

This is the same license the Rust Language project decided to use, and the rationale for that decision was Apache-2.0 makes lawyers happy, and MIT is compatible with GPL projects.

Changelog

  • Add LICENSE-APACHE
  • Add LICENSE-MIT
  • Refactor LICENSE to reference both, and include usage examples
