tevador to relicense Polyseed under Apache 2.0 in order to 'facilitate Monero integration'

tevador1 has opened a PR2 looking to relicense the Polyseed3 library from LGPL 3.0 to Apache 2.0 in order to facilitate Monero integration:

I also added a proper attribution for the BIP-39 wordlists. Contributors to this repository include: @tobtoht @sanderfoobar and @Agatha-luna, all of which contributed 1-line changes that are not copyrightable. If any of you object to this relicensing, please make your case in the comments.

Several XMR wallets including Cake Wallet/Monero.com4, Stack Wallet5 and ANONERO6 have already added support for Monero’s new mnemonic seed library.

It is worth mentioning that tevador is a key long-term Monero contributor and RandomX7 author.

This is an ongoing story and the report will be updated when new information is available.
