let me research this a bit ...
update: versor is GPL
@wolftype any chance either BSD or Apache v2 is possible? Otherwise I can't use it in my own open source library that is dual licensed BSD and Apache v2. Thanks for the consideration.
Isn't GPL v3 compatible with Apache v2? On Tue, May 31, 2016 at 11:38 PM Andrew Hundt notifications@github.com wrote:

@wolftype GPL v3 can use Apache code, but Apache code cannot use GPL v3 code https://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html . In other words, you could use my library but I can't use yours.
Ok let me sort this out for you so you can use the code! On Wed, Jun 1, 2016 at 2:31 AM Andrew Hundt notifications@github.com wrote:

Awesome thanks!
@wolftype hey just wanted to touch base on this, perhaps the issue could also be reopened?
If we did BSD for non commercial and GPL for commercial would that work in your case? On Fri, Jun 17, 2016 at 2:40 PM Andrew Hundt notifications@github.com wrote:

Unfortunately I'm trying to keep my own project available to commercial projects, so the dependencies must meet that requirement as well. Don't worry, I understand if your motivations preclude that!
Ok in that case, to be most flexible, I will likely offer both BSD and GPL licenses, and you can choose which to use for both commercial and non commercial work. I think that offers the clearest route. I may add a strong recommendation to keep us informed of how it is being used, for the benefit of all. I'd rather the software be used than restrict its use!

Reopened to provide a simple update: Source code is now FreeBSD (2-clause). Use it as you wish -- but please keep us all posted as to what you are up to!
Thanks! P
That's awesome, thanks! I'll be sure to let you know!
Where can I see a copy of the UC Regents General Public License? I tried searching google but didn't find it. Based on your description perhaps it is one version of the BSD License?
