Is GPL-3.0 appropriate? I've seen people want to link this to decomps, and those aren't GPL-3.0.

By including this and linking it into any source decompilation project or binary ROM hack it would have some pretty severe implications.

Have you considered dual licensing this under MIT or zlib? It's effectively unusable in serious projects in this state, AFAIK. IANAL.

AFAIK there are no FOSS, clean-room reimplementations of sappy.

Huh, that's kind of true actually. @easyaspi314 Would you be fine with changing the license?

ipatix commented 4 months ago

I'm currently considering the following: Either MIT or MPL 2.0, what would be the preferred option for you?

aronson commented 4 months ago

MIT is well vetted and seems the best to me
