Re: [fltk/fltk] Not enough contrast on automatic colors (Issue #370) Albrecht Schlosser Jul 19, 2022  
 

@Myndex Hi Andy, after some time I'm back on this topic and developing the new contrast algorithm(s) for FLTK. Thanks for your kind words in previous comments and all your work, the links, and information.

However, my main concern is that your license precludes usage of APCA in non-web application and others if I'm not missing a point or misunderstanding the license:

... Any such license excludes other use cases
not related to web content. Prohibited uses include
medical, clinical evaluation, human safety related,
aerospace, transportation, military applications,
and uses which are not specific to web based content
presented on self-illuminated displays or devices.

The same wording can be found in the apca-w3 repository.

FLTK is not (used for) web content and as a GUI library we can't easily exclude specific usages by our users.

My questions: will this kind of license only be used while APCA is in beta stadium and will be opened for others (like FLTK) later or is this not to be expected. If not we (FLTK) would obviously not be able to use APCA in our library which would be a pity. Is there another option to legally using your awesome new APCA algorithm?

Thanks in advance for any insights.
