Hi!

I noticed that nalgebra switched it's licensing a year ago to Apache 2.0.

However, the Cargo.toml still specifies BSD-3. This makes tooling like cargo license output the following:

BSD-3-Clause (1): nalgebra

Now, I don't have a problem with either of these licenses, but it's pretty confusing. Can this be updated in the Cargo.toml to make it more clear what license we should be using with this software?

It looks like this was changed from Apache-2.0 back to BSD-3 in this commit: 7d5cc49

But it looks like some of the sub-crates never had their license changed from BSD-3 to Apache-2.0 in the earlier license change. I also couldn't find much documentation on the earlier license change. Were all contributors contacted, or did someone just decide to change the license?

I think this was resolved by #1308.

I think this was resolved by #1308.

Yes - at least I attempted to. As far as I can tell, the latest release of nalgebra is correct.
