license :(

this exact thing is on my devs teams backlog. if you figure out a good license it would be AMAZING for us.



GPLv3 should be enough for an app; AGPL adds additional protection for server-side/self-hosted projects. https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/1420...

The MuPDF app is available under AGPLv3+. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mupdf/id482941798?mt=8

You will catch some flak for discouraging free commercial re-use.

If you see your app or portions of it as more of a library for others to use then LGPL is an option that requires reciprocity. In an unusual case, a "lax" license was recommended for the reference Ogg/Vorbis audio codec implementation: https://lwn.net/2001/0301/a/rms-ov-license.php3

Fixed that for you.
