I switched Serd and Sord to 2-clause BSD. Enjoy.
Thanks! I hope to.
The license header is
bigger and uglier and has a bunch of lawyer boiler-plate yelling in it,
which I am not aesthetically please with at all... :)
I've always rather liked the look of the BSD boilerplate.
This made me notice something though: lv2.h itself is
LGPL (inherited
from ladspa.h). So, if you're implementing an LV2 host there's
inherently LGPL involved anyway.
For me that's OK, an LV2 implementation would be of rather different purpose
from a general store implementation. Though I can imagine others finding it
difficult -- I've noticed some confusion about what exactly the LGPL means
for use of the LADSPA header in the past.
I am fully on the pro-GPL card-carrying FSF member
team
I can see many cases for GPL libraries and BSD libraries, but I've not so
often been convinced by the use of the LGPL.
