License under BSD 3-clause (or another established license) #44

Closed appgurueu closed 1 month ago

appgurueu commented 9 months ago

The license seems to be similar to the 3-clause BSD license in spirit, but not in exact wording.

Could you dual-license under your current license (for "backwards compatibility") and 3-clause BSD (or another established license you approve of)? This would help projects who want to be "on the safe side" licensing-wise.

In case anyone else sees the licence and doesn't recognise it, it's SPDX:Zlib

I see, thanks. Would be good if the source code comment or readme mentioned this. It's a bit unfortunate that the license name is missing.
