License change
--------------
A few months ago we were made aware that OpenLP violates a few of the licenses that some of OpenLPs
dependencies are under. For instance, PyQt5 is under the GPLv3 license, which is incompatiable with
OpenLPs GPLv2. To resolve this we are planning to relicense OpenLP under the GPLv3 license. To do
this we have contacted all of the known contributors to OpenLP to get their permission to relicense.
So far it has been a success, even though it is a slow process. Not everybody has replied yet, so
if you have contributed in the past but have not been contacted about this, please contact us.
