Change license or dual license #88

Closed hauleth closed 10 months ago

IIRC WTFPL is not really binding in some jurisdictions, which mean that this software can be considered proprietary in some countries. That may be a problem there. So my proposal is to dual license it as WTFPL and 0BSD/MIT or something like that to avoid that trap.

that's really something important, thanks for pointing it out. but I saw elixir is using apache https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/blob/main/LICENSE any suggestion between apache and BSD/MIT?

Apache has also patent clausule. Honestly - whatever works for you, no strong feelings. I pointed out these two licenses as these are closest one to WTFPL in their core.
