Licensing

[pombredanne]

Hi: Thank you for this!
There is one thing though is that the in C++ your templates would always be statically linked with the code that uses it. And therefore my understanding is that the LGPL requirements would extend to the calling code (in contrast with Java where the linking is different)
Have you consider to use the GPL with a runtime exception instead like this is done in libstdc++ rather than an LGPL license?
See https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/faq.html#faq.license.what and https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/license.html

Thank you for your kind consideration!
