+# +Apache2 linking exception:
+# +---------------------------
+# +OpenVPN is currently undergoing a license change to add an exception for
+# +Apache 2 linking. The following exception is only valid for new contributions
+# +after 2023-05-03 and past contribution where the authors have already agreed
+# +to the exception.
+# +
+# +  In addition, as a special exception, OpenVPN Inc and the
+# +  contributors give permission to link the code of this program to
+# +  libraries (the "Libraries") licensed under the Apache License
+# +  version 2.0 (this work and any linked library the "Combined Work")
+# +  and copy and distribute the Combined Work without an obligation to
+# +  license the Libraries under the GNU General Public License v2
+# +  (GPL-2.0) as required by Section 2 of the GPL-2.0, and without an
+# +  obligation to refrain from imposing any additional restrictions in
+# +  the Apache License version 2 that are not in the GPL-2.0, as
+# +  required by Section 6 of the GPL-2.0.  You must comply with the
+# +  GPL-2.0 in all other respects for the Combined Work, including
+# +  the obligation to provide source code.  If you modify this file, you
+# +  may extend this exception to your version of the file, but you are
+# +  not obligated to do so.  If you do not wish to do so, delete this
+# +  exception statement from your version.
+# +
+# +For better understanding, in plain non-legalese English this basically says:
+# +
+# + * The intention for this license exception is to allow OpenVPN to be
+# +   linked against APL-2 licensed libraries, even where the GPL-2.0 and
+# +   APL-2 licenses conflict from a legal perspective.
+# +
+# + * OpenVPN itself will stay GPL-2.0 and the code belonging to the
+# +   OpenVPN project must comply to the GPL-2.0 license.  This is NOT
+# +   dual-licensing of the OpenVPN code base.
+# +
+# + * This license exception DOES NOT require NOR expect a license change
+# +   of the APL-2 based library.  This exception allows using the APL-2
+# +   library as-is.  However, when distributing a compiled OpenVPN binary
+# +   linking against APL-2 libraries ("Combined Work"), the REQUIREMENT is
+# +   that the APL-2 library MUST also be available on similar terms as in
+# +   GPL-2.0, like providing the source code of the library upon request,
+# +   except in the two specific ways mentioned.
+# +
+# + * If the APL-2 based library forbids such linking and distribution,
+# +   this license exception DOES NOT overrule the restriction of the APL-2
+# +   based library.  If the APL-2 library cannot satisfy the requirements
+# +   in this license exception, you CANNOT distribute an OpenVPN binary
+# +   linked with this library.
