Licensing possible derivatives #121
Description
Hi!
I was working on a project somewhat similar to this - https://github.com/Aidan-McNay/scarf/tree/main (aiming for tools like a linter/formatter, but starting with a parser). I opted to start my own rather than contributing for a couple reasons, largely creative ownership and some slightly different design decisions, although sv-parser looks great in its own right! When writing this, while no code was ever copied or re-used from sv-parser, I had looked at the code before and had exposure, and am not sure whether this qualifies it as a derivative work.
I'm currently figuring out under which license I want to use the code, but it will likely be LGPL or something similar. I believe this is in-line with the current licenses (being less permissive) even if the code is considered a derivative. Regardless, I wanted to have an open conversation and get your thoughts before making any independent conclusions
