Proposal to amend ZIP 1014 to require MIT license for core code

Another possibility is to be strict for code that is critical for consensus and enabling forking (see related discussion here and here).

For example, adding language in the following spirit:

All software whose development is funded by the Dev Fund, and which is intended to be used in implementing blockchain consensus rules, node operations, or other critical functions needed for operation of the Zcash blockchain or forks thereof, MUST be released under the MIT license.
