Would it be possible to relicense to something more permissive? GPL-v3 license forces all software that uses the code to also be GPL. I work on some open source projects that are dual licensed as MIT and Apache 2.0. We cannot relicense that codebase, so I would not be able to implement this library for it, since it would force them to switch to GPL.

Any chance you would consider licensing as Apache 2.0 so that other non-gpl projects can use this? Apache is nice because it grants patent rights (just like GPL) but like MIT it is permissive and wont force others to use GPL
