We are systematically re-licensing tidyverse and r-lib packages to use the MIT license, to make our package licenses as clear and permissive as possible. To do so, we need the approval of all copyright holders, which I have found by reviewing contributions from all all non-RStudio contributors.
​
Due to the maximum number of users who can be tagged in a post on GitHub, there were three issues (#4231, #4232, #4233) used to track re-licensing for ggplot2. This issue combines the remaining contributors who have not yet responded.

@dkahle, @JoFrhwld, @jonathan-g, @kelseymoty, @lselzer, @noamross, @pkq, @slowkow, @sowla, @steveharoz, @tdmcarthur, @thiyangt, would you permit us to re-license ggplot2 with the MIT license? If so, please comment "I agree" below.

We have made a good-faith attempt to get consent from all contributor to the package under the previous license. This has included reviewing contributions to the package for non-trivial changes, seeking agreement to re-license with GitHub issues, sending a reminding after two weeks, and reaching out by e-mail (where possible).

Unfortunately, we have not received a response from @tdmcarthur. We have carefully reviewed their contributions. Given that the contributions are relatively small, and no one has objected to re-licensing across all tidyverse and r-lib repos, we are going to move ahead with the re-licensing. Of course, if we later discover that contributors are not happy with the re-licensing, we'll re-implement their changes.
