I'm looking to use your "library" into my projects, but....

Nowhere I could find the license that this project has been licensed.

If it's still a open issue, I could suggest LGPL, as it's commercial friendly, 
and still is a true Open 
Source.

Nice work!

Apache License 2.0

It's listed in the upper-right corner of the home page. I don't know much about 
the 
differences between the licenses. I mostly picked Apache at random. Are there 
points 
that make LGPL better than Apache?

Sorry, my fault. I just looked at the source code.

The license is very important, as your project will be used by a ton of people, 
in commercial, open source and 
internal projects, you, as the Copyright owner, must decide if people will or 
not use your project in such cases.

I think that Apache is a better choice instead of LGPL, as the linking issue in 
LGPL is a little bit confusing in Java 
code.

Thank you. I'll go ahead an add that Apache License boilerplate for the next 
release.
