I generally use the ISC license (or MIT) for most of my projects since I am generally okay with another entity using the code I have written in pretty much any way they wish. As this project grows in popularity I've come more concerned that some entity will fork this project under a less permissive license and release a commercial project based on the hard work of the contributors.
While I cannot revoke the license on anything created up to this point, I would like to move the project to GPLv3 going forward. While technically under ISC, I don't need the permission of the existing contributors to do this I would rather get a sign-off from all the contributors before I make the move.
The list of contributors was found using the command:
I've also viewed the contributions by anyone not listed by the above command to be sure that their contributions were not still present in the project.
Sign-offs:
There is one change by @Dziman but it is a trivial line. Changes by @pvalkone and @jnachtigall were to the documentation that has since been rewritten. If they are available I would prefer their signoff as well.
I have also gotten signoff from the following people, even though their contributions are no longer in the project:
