+As of its 2.0 version, as agreed by the committers listed below, the
+Libabigail project license was changed from LGPL version 3 or later to
+Apache License 2.0 with LLVM exception.
+
+The LGPLv3+ continues to apply to prior versions of the software.
+
+Here is the list of the committers who have agreed to the change:
+
+Benjamin Kosnik <b.dekosnik@gmail.com>
+Ben Woodard <woodard@redhat.com>
+Chenxiong Qi <cqi@redhat.com>

+
+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."
