Sequoia PGP is owned by the [p≡p foundation] and licensed under the
terms of the LGPLv2+.
[p≡p foundation]: https://pep.foundation/
To finance its mission, privacy by default, the [p≡p foundation]
allows third parties (currently only [p≡p security]) to relicense its
software. Consistent with the rules of a foundation, the money
collected by the foundation in this manner is fully reinvested in the
foundation's mission, which includes further development of Sequoia
PGP.
[p≡p security]: https://www.pep.security/
To do this, the [p≡p foundation] needs permission from all
contributors to relicense their changes. In return, the
[p≡p foundation] guarantees that *all* releases of Sequoia PGP (and
any other software it owns) will also be released under a GNU-approved
license. That is, even if Foo Corp is granted a license to use
Sequoia PGP in a proprietary product, the exact code that Foo Corp
uses will also be licensed under a GNU-approved license.
If you want to contribute to Sequoia PGP, and you agree to the above,
please sign the [p≡p foundation]'s [CLA]. This is an electronic
assignment; no paper work is required. You'll need to provide a valid
email address. After clicking on a link to verify your email address,
you'll receive a second email, which contains the contract between you
and the [p≡p foundation]. Be sure to keep it for future reference.
The maintainers of Sequoia PGP will also receive a notification. At
that point, we can merge patches from you into Sequoia PGP.
[CLA]: https://contribution.pep.foundation/contribute/
Please direct questions regarding the CLA to [contribution@pep.foundation].
