Hi @JimBobSquarePants

Thank you for all the amazing job done with SixLabors.ImageSharp. I personally love this library and level of the compatibility with System.Drawing.* libraries.

I am the maintainer of Clippit (fork of Open-Xml-PowerTools) that was migrated to .NET 6 and System.Drawing layer replaced by SixLabors.ImageSharp libraries.

I would love to keep this library under MIT license and consume the latest versions of ImageSharp.

From what I see in Six Labors Split License it is perfectly legal to use case:

   Works in Source or Object form are licensed to You under the Apache License, Version 2.0 if.

   - You are consuming the Work in for use in software licensed under an Open Source or Source Available license.
   - You are consuming the Work as a Transitive Package Dependency.

I read it as that consumers of this library (who do not directly reference SixLabors.ImageSharp) can use it commercially without buying the Six Labors Commercial License.

Can you please confirm that I understand it correctly?
