Extract and relicense nix_rs?

[matthiasbeyer]

Hi,

I would be interested in using your nix_rs crate in one of my projects and potentially adding more functionality to it.

Would you be interested in extracting the nix_rs crate from this repository and put it into a new repository (I can help with extracting the commit history of the /crates/nix_rs/ subtree if you want) and release it under another license?
For example MIT + Apache 2.0 is the most common used license for libraries in the rust ecosystem, or maybe MPL-2.0 which - to my understanding - is something like GPL but for libraries(, as LGPL does not work for libraries in the rust ecosystem because of static linking).

(all above with "I am not a lawyer" of course).

Would love to hear your opinion on this.

I can change the license of nix_rs (maybe even all of nix-browser) to Apache 2.0 (same as Hyperswitch). But I find it convenient to have the library in this monorepo; any particular reason you are requesting a dedicated repo for nix_rs?

Well, if you would relicense all of this repository, I wouldn't see a reason to extract nix_rs to a new repository! 😆

I think I'll make nix_rs its own dedicated repo for now, and license it under Apache 2.0.

@matthiasbeyer You can use this now: https://github.com/juspay/nix-rs

I'll close this repo after making nix-browser use the new repo.
