I would have loved to put the header files in the public domain, but in most jurisdictions, including Germany, this isn't legally possible. When you create something, you have the copyright (Urheberrecht in German, literally author's right) and you can't give it up or transfer it to someone else.b.zaar wrote:Some of the code is released under the WTF license so it's free to play around with. Maybe the license should be changed to something more like Public Domain or BSD tho...
WTFPL is pretty close, practially speaking, so we chose that. If we started today, we would probably consider CC0 instead.
