Hi

So I found this thread on Twitter:

- So here's the plan: the nougat-release branch will start off with a
  non-commercial usage license, and migrate to GPL3 as it gets funded.

- The marshmallow branches will remain as they already are. Not much is
  going to happen there beyond a few more security updates though.

All the best
