Hi, Thanks for releasing this library! Would you mind adding a license, ie MIT or ISC? Thank you!

Sorry for the delay in responses, been very busy with other projects and the next version of Swiftcord lately. I'm considering an MIT license, but don't take my words as a guarantee just yet. I'll have to see if it's the most suitable license for us, as well as being compatible with that of the new Swiftcord.

Please, don't. MIT is terrible because it allows corporate takeover. Please consider dual licensing GPL and a commercial license so for-profit corporate projects using this would be obliged to pay you money. This is better for everyone, as enthusiasts would still be able to use this in there projects and your work won't go underpaid

I’d actually like to support MIT since it allows integration into apps, while still requiring attribution. For the Swiftcord app itself GPL makes sense but for libraries MIT doesn’t require linked software to also be GPL licensed

What's the problem with dual licensing with a commercial license? It still allows writing software with whatever the license you'd like while ensuring that the author gets paid
