The KDL Document Language

  the kdl document language specifications

  

I'd love to understand why all the advertised implementations have permissive licenses except for the Rust implementation, which is released under the Parity Public License 7.0.0 [1]? This seems to be as restrictive as the GPL, no?

In my mind, copyleft licenses applied to infrastructural projects like kdl-rs prematurely limits their adoption and promotes the development of alternatives with more permissive licensing, since the spec is released under a Creative Commons license [2].

Hi!

I'm the author of the Java KDL library, https://github.com/hkolbeck/kdl4j. I'm currently overwhelmed by other things and unable to do the work to get it up to the 1.0.0 spec. I'm looking for folks willing to help me. DM me on Twitter at the same name if you're interested.
