GPL v3 ... Just use it and become GPL too ...

sounds really interesting to me. Hope some developers will start to support it, when it's finished.

Unfortunately, commercial software like us just can't : It's GPL ... not LGPL.

I guess then it unfortunately won't gain ground...

I see... you'd have to go opensource to be able to offer it...crazy.

ok then, bye FLIF!

The basic and binary way of thinking, which is unfortunately often :

"there are only two options : being a big dev company such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc ... or being an OpenSource/Free software like Gimp or Blender"

is really boring at some point.

In the same way : not everybody can afford to pay patents, not everybody can live with a free product.


At least, having a middle position between two extremes is interesting and challenging.

In fact, FLIF is not under GPL license v3, but the default implementation is (https://github.com/jonsneyers/FLIF" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

If so, it's really cool.
I should have searched deeper.
