About the license

This fork was made after NPX silently left the community circa 2016-2017.

NPX originally licensed their code under "GPLv3" , then later switched it to "LGPL" without specifying a version.

Choice of new license

The Free Software Foundation's license compatibility matrix indicates:

  • any LGPL-licensed software can be directly redistributed under the GPLv3
  • any LGPLv2.1 or later or LGPLv3 can be distributed under LGPLv3

The most correct route would be to relicense directly under GPLv3 ; however given NPX's deliberate move from GPLv3 to LGPL, it should be safe to assume LGPLv2.1 or later as the intended effect.

This software is thus now being licensed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 or later.
