Hello,

I am wondering if you can change the license from GPL to a more permissive  
license like ASL 2.0?

There were several discussions of ATS license issue in the past.

For instance:

[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/ats-lang-users/license/ats-lang-users/ZRSpQQsgAM4](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topicsearchin/ats-lang-users/license/ats-lang-users/ZRSpQQsgAM4)

In general, any code generated from ATS source code belongs to the author  
of the ATS source code, and  
the header files (ATS2-include) needed to compile the generated code have  
already been given a BSD-like  
license.On Wednesday, September 9, 2015 at 12:24:53 AM UTC-4, Suminda Dharmasena wrote:
