Hey, thanks for making this!

I'm vibecoding chromecast/airplay support for https://danklinux.com/ and would like it to work out of the box using your libary.

The issue is that it's GPL3 so I can't link it directly into dms, would you consider using a more permissive license so we can get out of the box cast streaming experience on linux?

Thanks for the feedback!

As mentioned in the README, I would like to keep this project under some variant of the GPL to respect the authors of similar projects (specifically UxPlay). If it were to be relicensed to LGPL, I don't believe there is an easy way of complying with the relinking requirements if it's pulled in directly as a library. As I understand, dms also can't relicense because they're pulling in other non-GPL code.

Probably the best outcome would be to add that functionality as a standalone plugin. For what it's worth, I'm open to making it friendlier to include as a dynamic library, just not sure if switching to LGPL would be sufficient.

I think switching to LGPL would be sufficient, given that the code isn't the same as UxPlay.

I'd really like for linux ecosystem to be excellent and issues like this are making it second citizen for no good reason :(

Anyway I respect your decision either way
