[Fiware-technical-committee] FIWARE Dev Requirements : Update

[Fernando López Aguilar]

To be clear, I have been made aware by some colleagues from the commission of the issue encountered by some projects who wanted to relicense under different licence (EPL I believe) which was not possible since GPL-like licenses do not allow it. To summarise the issue, GPL and many of its derivatives (such as the AGPL) do not allow relicensing.
