# Permission to Relicense under MPLV2
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This document collects grants from firms that hold copyrights in ZeroMQ. Please add new firms at the start. Each patch must be made with a GitHub handle that guarantees identity of the signatory.

## iMatix Corporation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a statement by iMatix Corporation sprl (iMatix) that grants permission to relicense its copyrights in the libzmq C++ library (ZeroMQ) under the Mozilla Public License v2 (MPLv2).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. The original ZeroMQ codebase was developed from 2007-2009 by FastMQ Inc. (FastMQ) in Slovakia, which held all copyrights in code written by its staff.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. On 2009-11-01, iMatix exercised an option to acquire FastMQ and its assets,
|
||
|
|
including ZeroMQ. On or before 2010-01-05 the FastMQ copyrights in ZeroMQ were
|
||
|
|
transferred to iMatix ([commit](https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/commit/4f6baf4dde627656b63cc4e2acdb78a8577ba640)). The FastMQ legal entity was subsequently liquidated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Between 2009 and 2016, iMatix has continued to add contributions to ZeroMQ under the GitHub handle 'hintjens'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. This grant therefore covers what remains of the original FastMQ codebase plus all later contributions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. iMatix hereby grants an irrevocable, global, and fully paid-up license on all its copyrights that exist in ZeroMQ, under the MPLv2.
