While the application itself is likely to be GPL-3.0 by the time of the first release, I'd like to allow use of the text engine under a more permissive license.

The two main contenders for licensing are:

Given that we're based on glib, which itself is LGPL, I'm not sure there's all that much benefit to using MPL-2.0. An additional upside of LGPL is we could then reuse code from GTK and/or Lasem.

The text engine component of bluetype has been split-off into mjakeman/text-engine, which is available under the MIT licence. Going forward, bluetype will likely be GPL3+.
