Details

fluent-rs is a Rust implementation of Project Fluent (http://projectfluent.io) developed by the Localization Drivers team. It is currently licensed under the Apache 2.0 License: https://github.com/projectfluent/fluent-rs/blob/master/LICENSE As per https://github.com/projectfluent/fluent-rs/issues/31, is it fine to dual-license the library under both Apache 2.0 and MIT? My understanding is that any contributions made to the library would still fall under Apache's patent grant and thus the risk of patent trolling would be mitigated.
FWIW, dual Apache2 + MIT is the "standard" licensing in the Rust OSS community, so will also be easiest for projects to integrate.
This is fine; you need permission from all contributors. A comment in the Github issue will suffice. Gerv

Thanks, Gerv. We already have permission from all contributors in https://github.com/projectfluent/fluent-rs/issues/31. I'll go ahead and make the change.
