Pick a FOSS license #23

Closed Giszmo closed 2 years ago

Giszmo commented 2 years ago

While I want this project to be FOSS, I'm not decided on a particular license yet.

Please leave your comments on the subject here.

I'm not a lawyer but I think, LGPL would be the most suited.

The client might have embeddable versions, so I don't want projects that embed it to worry about the license of their own project. That excludes GPL.

On the other hand, if somebody does modify the code, I want the right to use their changes here, too, which excludes MIT.

If there are no objections to LGPL, I'll apply it in two weeks.

AGPL is probably not relevant as there should not be a server component to this.
