Suggestion: switch to rg_etc1

as it is zlib licensed, less restrictive than apache2, and closer to public domain in spirit

See my comment in #33.

I'm looking for alternatives: detex looks interesting, very open license and C code.

Well, nice find :D however, ISC license (like MIT) require attribution, whereas Zlib/libpng license does not.

That's a valid point. As I asked in #33, is there any specific problem with attribution in licenses? I don't really see the problem.

Now we are talking! Looks promising, I'm going to take a deeper look now. Thanks!

There is absolutely nothing wrong at giving attribution, in fact, it is what the cool guys should do in the credits section of their app/game to be polite and thanksful. However, I know a few companies that won't ever embed 3rd party software that is L/GPL, MIT/ISC, BSD2/3, etc licensed. And they wont ever give a shit on credits either. Too bad.

Despite those morons, the UNLICENSE (and the public domain in spiritual terms) promotes universal donors and universal recipients, with absolutely none clause to use, copy and/or distribute; I mean it is truly free, from everybody, for everybody, despite if the guys who are going to consume the software are cool guys or not. And that makes the world a lil better than it was before.

If you want to go dual-license, you can go unlicense+mit-0 (or zero-bsd) as well.
Same ideas, different reformulation.

Thanks for the information, I chose MIT-0, I really liked it! wfETC integration is already in master.
