Hi,

Saw your results on techempower. I was floored at the across the board great results. Great work!

I gather csp files are compiled and linked with ulib. Thus it seems all websites written with ulib must be GPL open sourced

Was this the original intent?

Hi, thank you. For the license I am not very informed about the implications and I am open to suggestion if the actual situation is not liked to someone... Regards

Hello Stefano !

A license like MIT, OPENBSD or at least LGPL would be nice, if you think that GPL is the best fit for ULIB maybe changing it to LGPL will allow third party code/plugins use any license they think is best for then but any changes to ULIB kernel should remain GPL.

This way more people will consider using ULIB on projects that can not be all GPL.

Cheers !

Hi,

LGPL is ok for me... I wait for some other people to manifest some opinions about...

Cheers !
