Weak copyleft licence #1

Closed stucox closed 9 years ago

stucox commented 9 years ago

Is there any chance this could be released with a weak copyleft licence (e.g. BSD or MIT)?

avian2 commented 9 years ago

BSD and MIT are not copyleft licenses.

No, I have no plans to release Unidecode under a different license. See https://github.com/kmike/text-unidecode for a similar library under an Artistic License.

@avian2 Why not use LGPL, which will allow for wider usage of the library, but still applies copyleft constraints to your library's code?

There's also anyascii, which is under the ISC license and claims to give better results than Unidecode and all its ports, like this library.
