Relicense under more permissive license? #27

Closed Wuzzy2 closed 6 years ago

Wuzzy2 commented 6 years ago

Hello. Can you do me a favor?

Can you please relicense this under the MIT License or a similar permissive license? Or if you don't want that: LGPLv2.1 (preferably with the “or later” clause).

There are some subgames (including my own) licenced under the LGPL (mainly because it's the license which Minetest uses) and it would be hard, if not impossible to legally include your mod into subgames, as the GPLv3 is incompatible with any version of the LGPL.

Personally, I think the MIT License makes more sense because it lowers the entry barrier for subgame inclusion the most. But as I said, LPGL would be fine, too.

I'm fine with the MIT license. If this mod can plug everywhere (technically), its license should have the same "ability".

Thanks, good to hear.

So, change the LICENSE file then, please? (to make it official)
