As such, many popular licenses would not be permissive enough to cover its entire contents. (Note that the same  is true of its [previous home](https://github.com/WG21-SG14/SG14/commit/beaf80012c5a71dc98ef8f9813346c84bff76d20) in the [SG14 repository](https://github.com/WG21-SG14/SG14).)\r\n\r\nI asked about appropriate licenses last year. Some follow-up information can be found [here](https://groups.google.com/a/isocpp.org/forum/#!searchin/sg14/$20copyright/sg14/rvS7N3I7nlk/qdIs9-cwAQAJ). The conclusion was that a very permissive license or no license at all would allow progress on the proposal so I went with the latter.\r\n\r\nHowever, I welcome any use which might result in testing and feedback so if you'd like to use the library and require a specific license which is suitably permissive, then by all means suggestion one and I'll consider applying it."}}
