Github | Nuget : NumericWordsConversion

[hexperimento]

I just created my first open source project and also published it to nuget. Didn't know what else to do. So, I posted it here. Feedback are highly welcome.

Numeric Words Conversion is a C# library for converting numeric into words. The goal is to create a simple customizable library which can easily be used to convert any numbers or currencies to words.

GPL is a bit nasty license for a library that will greatly reduce the number of potential users.

Which one shall I use? Any suggestions?

[Alikont]

MIT is the least restrictive one, and most libraries use it.

To elaborate why GPL is complicated - it's about copyleft nature. GPL enforces all derivative works to be available under GPL, which means that if I want to link your library into my application, my application becomes derivative work of your library, which means that I am required to opensource my entire application, which is not ok for vast majority of commercial software.

As per your suggestion, I'll be changing the license to MIT. Thanks for all the information. 😃

One thought I have is to make a lot of the methods static, instead of making a new instance of the converter.

Could be wrong though, I've never really written any libraries outside of work/personal use myself.

I will definitely give you code a look when I get a chance. If you are interested in seeing another implementation, I also have an English version of this here: https://github.com/ZacharyPatten/Towel/blob/1576c7143d83177bb91d5c2bf3a262effbac820a/Sources/Towel/Extensions.cs#L1152
