Please note that concerning the contributions of people working at
Google, I (Dodji Seketeli) was forwarded the following from Matthias
Maennich:
That is in response to all contributors from Google from the department
that is able to clarify open source licensing issues:
"Please let the maintainer know that Google LLC formally consents to
relicensing Googlers' contributions to libabigail to the LGPLv3 / Apache
2 with LLVM Exception license.
If the maintainer would like to direct one of the relicensing requests
to us directly, we'll be happy to respond in the affirmative."
