## SimH license changes
The maintainer of the [simh/simh](https://github.com/simh/simh) GitHub project,
[Mark Pizzolato](https://github.com/markpizz), decided on May 15th, 2022 with
commit [ce2adce6](https://github.com/simh/simh/commit/ce2adce6) to change the
license of the repository. The bottom line of the change is, that some files
are declared proprietary and this repository is not longer a
[FOSS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open-source_software) project,
see also issue [#1163](https://github.com/simh/simh/issues/1163).
This triggered massive reactions, see issue
[#1161](https://github.com/simh/simh/issues/1161) and discussions on the
SimH mailing list [simh@groups.io](https://groups.io/g/simh), starting with post
[New license?](https://groups.io/g/simh/topic/new_license/91108560).
See especially Bob Supnik's post
[SimH licensing and the state of the project](https://groups.io/g/simh/topic/simh_licensing_and_the_state/91173868)
Given that situation using version `v3.11-1` as described above is the
only prudent option for the time being.
