Consider Apache 2.0 License? #51

Closed rwinch closed 6 years ago

rwinch commented 6 years ago

I'm the project lead for Spring Security. We would like to provide integration with argon2. The argone2-jvm license of LGPL v3 is not compatible to allow it to be used with an Apache 2.0 (our license) licensed project. Would you consider licensing it under Apache 2.0 or another compatible license as well?

Hi, i'm honored that you consider this library in such a big project like Spring Security, but unfortunately I won't relicense the library under Apache 2.0 or anything compatible. I chose the copyleft part of the LGPL explicitly.

Maybe you could use https://github.com/kosprov/jargon2-api ?

@phxql Thanks for the response and the pointer. I will look into using jargon2-api
