First, I want to say that I really like this project. It is minimalist, performant, and a great aesthetic. I have been using it for a couple months now, and it is very reliable. Thanks for making it.

I am wondering if you would be interested in a different license for this project. Under the current CC-BY-ND license, pull requests technically violate the terms of the license, as they are derivative works expressly forbidden in the terms of the license.

Per Creative Commons

We recommend against using Creative Commons licenses for software. Instead, we strongly encourage you to use one of the very good software licenses which are already available. We recommend considering licenses listed as free by the Free Software Foundation and listed as “open source” by the Open Source Initiative.

Would you consider MIT, Apache 2.0, LGPL 3.0, or GPL 3.0? The latter 2 options are probably most compatible with the stated mission, and I would like to contribute if I can share the source code openly.

Thanks for considering it!
