GPL3 License https://github.com/chieapp/chie/blob/main/LICENSE
1 comments

Chie is currently licensed under the GPLv3, it will be relicensed to the MIT license on March 20th, 2028 (5 years after the first commit). I take this approach to discourage closed-source software from taking advantage of my work before it gets enough impacts.

Due to the future relicense, contributors will be asked to sign an agreement.

The agreement doesn't mention that it's just for relicensing to MIT.
