Wow, native (somewhat) GUI already.
>> V UI is licensed under GPL3. A commercial license will be available. Open-source projects will have access to the commercial license for free. Every single feature will be open-sourced right away and available under both licenses. At some point in the future the library will be relicensed under MIT.
It'd be nice to see a commercial license.
- Tozen 5y agoWould like to add that I do like the V UI. We are talking about a cross platform UI with no dependencies, that was made to integrate from its early stages. This is partly why V is distinguishing itself from the pack.
- Tozen 5y agoYeah, I find the initial choice of license on V UI to be a bit weird. Not understanding the logic behind it, when the main and other parts are MIT, as a GPL UI is a definite way to go down the road of massive headaches, drama, and confusion. GPL can give an unfriendly impression to those they probably could use help or support from. It's still the early stages of the library and the language, so maybe it won't turn into some kind of mess. Possibly, they may have to do some rewrites of existing libraries. Still, it is a curious choice not to at least go LGPL, like many other projects have done who went down that GNU path. Seems like LGPL would have been the right balance to prevent sending mixed or "warning" signals. There is also VIUP (https://github.com/kjlaw89/viup https://github.com/kjlaw89/viup), which is a port of IUP. So, it's not like more adventurous types can't go play with that. That's under the friendlier MIT license.
