Previously, it was only possible to retry the same request on a different protocol name that had the exact same binary payloads. Introduce a way of trying a different request on a different protocol if the first one fails with Unsupported protocol. This helps with adding new req-response versions in polkadot while preserving compatibility with unupgraded nodes. The way req-response protocols were bumped previously was that they were bundled with some other notifications protocol upgrade, like for async backing (but that is more complicated, especially if the feature does not require any changes to a notifications protocol). Will be needed for implementing https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/RFCs/pull/47 TODO: - [x] add tests - [x] add guidance docs in polkadot about req-response protocol versioning
Substrate

- Substrate Primitives (
sp-*), Frame (frame-*) and the pallets (pallets-*), binaries (/bin) and all other utilities are licensed under Apache 2.0. - Substrate Client (/client/*/sc-*) is licensed under GPL v3.0 with a classpath linking exception.
The reason for the split-licensing is to ensure that for the vast majority of teams using Substrate to create feature-chains, then all changes can be made entirely in Apache2-licensed code, allowing teams full freedom over what and how they release and giving licensing clarity to commercial teams.
In the interests of the community, we require any deeper improvements made to Substrate's core logic (e.g. Substrate's internal consensus, crypto or database code) to be contributed back so everyone can benefit.
