Who needs a web framework written under GPL terms anyway

[lukateras]

Writing web applications in C is a great idea. Still, people who want to write their own app using C can't legally do it without opening their sources. That's because you distribute it under GPL terms as a set of source files which should be extended by users to get their functionality:

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
    parties under the terms of this License.

    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based 

It would be more appropriate to license it under dual MIT/GPL license so people could use your framework without opening the application source code.

Sorry for opening this one, I see it now. One of dependencies is under GPL.

I don't see any dependencies...

[sternenseemann]

Those dependencies are probably LGPL. If you could link to nope.c and it would be published under the LGPL everything would be fine...

@vi @sternenseemann see #5.

@yegortimoschenko are parts of this webserver put into nope.c code? :/
