Dear project owner,
I was wondering if you have ever considered changing the license of some of the core libraries in OBS (e.g. graphics-hook, libobs*, etc.) to the LGPL?
This would allow GPL incompatible projects (such as MIT) to use those libraries via dynamic linking while still preserving all the benefits of the GPL license.
This change would also benefit OBS imo. An even larger developer community means more contributions and an even more robust product.
A comparable project that did just that back in 2011 is VLC: http://www.videolan.org/press/lgpl.html
