[Ofmfwg] OFMF meeting minutes for 20 October 2023

[Doug Ledford]

All of the Sunfish repos have had their LICENSE files updated to BSD 3
Clause.  They have all had the DCO file added to the repo as well.  The
github setup now requires all commits to contain a valid DCO Signed-off-by:
label, and we also require all commits to be PGP key signed as well.  This
more or less completes the setup of the repos in terms of licensing and
contribution maintenance.  I know people were going to their companies to
get the BSD 3 Clause approved, but that's generally one of the easy ones to
get approved, so we went ahead and put it in place ahead of getting
everyone's response back.  And the BSD 3 Clause is so permissive, that if
we *do* need to end up changing the license in the future, it's not hard to
do as almost any other license is more restrictive than this one and we
don't have to have people's permission to relicense the code under more
restrictive terms, just less restrictive ones.  So I consider this step on
getting the repos setup as being complete.
