Hello,

This is to let you know that we, with the agreement of the Free Software 
Foundation Europe, have changed the Bacula license from GPLv2 with some 
exceptions (allow linking with OpenSSL + Windows, ...) to AGPLv3 with the 
same exceptions.  This was done to help ensure that users whose files are 
backed up by ISPs using Bacula or cloud providers can request any 
modifications the service providers make to Bacula.

The next versions of Bacula, namely Bacula Enterprise 4.0.1 released today, 
and Bacula community 5.0.3 to be release during the month of August will be 
released on the new license.  

The modifications to the LICENSE and the source copyrights have been pushed to 
the Source Forge get repository.

Best regards,

Kern
