Hello,

I couldn't find contact details to contact you, so i am trying here

I apologies if that is not the right place to ask, but is it possible to update the DLS license to MIT, so i can try to port more features from DLS to serve-d?

Since you archived your repositories, i couldn't open an issue there

Thanks!

Hello, the reason DLS is under the GPL3 license is because its compiled binary includes DCD, which itself is under the GPL3 license. That being said, I don't care much about using DLS code in another project, if not for DCD being under the GPL I would have kept DLS under an MIT license. If you find code in it that you want to port to serve-d, go for it! If DLS can be of any use beyond its death, that makes me happy. If you still would prefer a proper re-licensing for DLS though, I'm not exactly sure how it would work as technically at least the compiled binaries have to stay under the GPL. If code and binaries can keep their own licenses, this shouldn't pose a problem, but I'm no expert in licenses...

@LaurentTreguier thanks a lot! i was previously using DLS and was sad to hear it becoming archived, that is why i i'm trying to help a little code-d (as much as i can, i'm not familiar with that kind of tools)

So thanks a lot for your efforts with DLS, hopefully we can all combine forces and try to make the best tooling possible for D
