KSLib

A user-community supported standard library for the Kerboscript language

The contents of this repository are scripts intended for use with the kOS (Kerbal Operating System) mod for Kerbal Space Program.

The scripts are written in the Kerboscript language, which is described on the main documentation page for kOS.

The goal of this repository is twofold:

1. To allow the developers of the kOS mod a place to put standard library scripts that enhance the usability of the mod.
2. To allow users of the kOS mod a place to participate as a group, submitting their own helpful additions to the library of scripts.

Please see the file: HOWTO.md to see how to use the files in this repository.

Please see the file: SUMMARY.md about the available libraries and what type of functionality they provide.

Why the MIT License?

The main kOS mod has been released under version 3 of the GNU General Public License (GPLv3), but KSLib has chosen the MIT License instead. Why?

1. MOSTLY THIS ONE -> The GNU GPL is verbose. Applying it significantly increases the size of each Kerboscript source code file, unnecessarily occupying precious kOS disk capacity.
2. Casual Kerboscript programmers who just want to do something small and simple may find the GNU GPL intimidating.
