FYI: AGPL licensing

[maxnachlinger]

This is a nice library, and fast too (I ran my own benchmarks as well) :) Sadly I cannot use it for work due to its AGPL license.

You probably know that AGPL requires modified code to be shared with the public and remain under the AGPL license. Also any code linked to the GPL/AGPL code (either dynamically or statically) is considered a combined work and the entire combination must be licensed under GPL/AGPL. So the code I write for work would also have to be open sourced as GPL/AGPL.

Sadly my employer won't want to share the rest of our codebase that might use this library.

Hello 👋 What license do you think is best suited here? I'll have a look on my side too :)

[maxnachlinger]

I like the MIT license since it works for open source and proprietary software and is written in clear language.

I'll take a look at this tomorrow then :)

Wow thanks man!

No worries
