This project uses a license which is not recognized by the FSF ( http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#NASA )
As many GNU/Linux distributions uses this list to accept/reject software, this limits the diffusion of this great software.

Please consider using a more standard license (GPL, BSD, MIT, MPL, Apache, etc).

Not copyleft please, Apache License version 2 would be fine.

NASA only supports 2 licenses: NOSA, and Apache 2.

I strongly discourage the use of NOSA, and have pushed to get all projects I'm associated with released under Apache 2. It take 6+ months to get any kind of response out of the patent office, so it's slow going... 😢
