For the records, this is how I send the message to the existing extensions:

excluded_slug = "SPDX:GPL-3.0-or-later"
TYPES_BPY = 1
message = """
Hey everyone,

Just a heads-up about a recent change regarding the licensing of add-ons on the Blender extension platform. Moving forward, all add-ons will need to be released under the GNU/GPL 3.0 license (_SPDX:GPL-3.0-or-later_). This is mainly to keep things simple and consistent across the board.

Previously, we accepted various licenses as long as they were compatible with Blender’s distribution. However, to avoid any confusion and streamline the process, all add-ons using the bpy API should now be presented as GPL 3 (the same license the Blender bundle is distributed). Regardless of whether the original code was under GPL 2, or something else like MIT or ZLIB.

Existing add-ons versions won't be affected. However, new updates will need to comply to the revised requirements.

Thanks for understanding, and [feel free to reach out](mailto:dalai@blender.org) if you have any questions.
