Title: Would you consider MIT or Apache Licencing?
Post by: iwbnwif on August 30, 2016, 12:19:27 pm

Firstly thank you for a truly amazing piece of software. This is really one of the best reporting tools I have seen :).

It is so good that I would like to attempt a port to wxWidgets (which is my main development framework). It might be an impossible project because some necessary classes are missing, but I would still like to give it a try.

wxWidgets has a permissive clause in their licence that allows users to use, copy, link, modify and distribute under their own terms, binary object code versions of works based on the Library.

I think this is incompatible with a 'raw' LGPL so I wonder if you would be prepared to either open a similar exception or provide a MIT or Apache licencing option?

I very much appreciate that an extraordinary amount of effort has gone into this work and you would like to protect that, so please consider this as a request with only the best intentions.

Thank you for the high appreciation of my work :) At the moment I'm not planning to change the license.
