Can I use a different license for commerical purposes
I am a developer considering adding mouse functionally to an upcoming app using matvt however I cannot comply with the GPLv3 license. Can I use a more permissive license such as the Mozilla Public License 2.0 or Apache License 2.0. I want to use a more permissive license since it would enable me to use matvt in my upcoming app and contribute to matvt.
Hi @GreenThunder245 Thanks for being considerate wrt the license
I would like to know a bit more about your use case because bundling MATVT inside another app could be problematic for the user, and detrimental to their experience too.
The main reason for putting GPL is to encourage folks to create derivatives in the open so that if required, someone can pick and choose features for their personal use from the alternatives, though direct contribution here would be the most preferred way.
An example why this might be a bad idea is that potentially the remote buttons could conflict between MATVT and your app which would make them incompatible with each other unnecessarily
