Hello Kay:

Given the large number of contributors to QuantLib, getting every one of them to agree to an amended license is a practical impossibility even if such change is endorsed by QuantLib moderators. However, a vendor is able to offer a commercial license to QuantLib as long as its terms are in compliance with the original open source QuantLib license. An example of this may be adding a warranty, indemnification, or support commitment to the license.

I will be happy to review your proposed changes to determine if CompatibL or another vendor would be able to offer the type of license you are looking for. Please feel free to use direct email if you would prefer not to post the requested license amendments to quantlib-users.

Best regards
Alexander Sokol
CompatibL
