License question about glyr

[sahib]

Hello,

may I ask what your usecase for glyr would be?

Displaying cover arts in an audio player. But this player is part of a bigger non FOSS project so GPL prevents me using it.

My general attitude with the GPL is that it's good for entire applications, but I'm convinced that libraries benefit in the end from more liberal licensing

My mindset also has changed a bit regarding this, so I'd be happy to relicense libglyr and python-glyr as LGPL. My hope is that it will attract more developers that maintain glyr, since I can't really bring up the time anymore to do that.

I might take a few days until I have the time to exchange the license files in the source.

[rnixx]

OK, then one more question. I don't know HOW liberal you want to go, there's also other other options like MIT, Apache, BSD, etc.

If you tell me which license you want to go I can alter the licensing information and make a PR.

Thanks

Yes, I'm aware of these licenses but I still like the idea behind the GPL.
The new license would be LGPLv3.

I'm going to exchange the license myself later the day, but thanks for the offer of a PR.

glyr is now LGPLv3 as of 8a11bba (also python-glyr changed LICENSE too).

OK, Thank you!
