Hi,

I assume you are aware of the recent discussions around the so-called 'Facebook BSD+Patents License'. The Apache Software Foundation Legal Affairs Committee has announced that this license is no longer allowed to be used as a direct dependency in Apache projects. Based on this decision, the RocksDB project re-licensed their code and people have reached out to other Facebook projects to consider doing the same.

I would kindly ask if you would consider changing the license of this project to something that’s easier to integrate for other companies.

Thanks
