[Marketing] [support-gang] [ANNOUNCE] Sugar Labs Licensing Referendum (non-binding) results

[Gary Martin]

I was surprised as I had no recollection at all of the original email (subscribed to way too many Sugar related lists), but after some digging found it had been clobbered as junk email, so not sure who else this may have hit, but thought it worth mentioning.

Regards,
--Gary
