Request for license exception to liblambert.ks

[dewiniaid]

I'm working on a comprehensive maneuver planning library written in kOS. Since I borrow a tiny bit of code from MechJeb, I'm using its (GPLv3) license as well. (Arguably the tiny bit of code I'm using is a small math function which may not qualify for copyright protection by itself, but I'm trying to avoid that issue for the time being -- permission is always better even if not strictly required).

I've recently started working on adding intercepts and transfers to my library, and I've adapted your kOS adaptation of Alexmoon's Lambert solver code for that purpose. However, the code in question is licensed CC-BY-NC-SA, making it incompatible with GPLv3.

You appear to be the sole author of the kOS port of Alexmoon's lambert solver. If Alexmoon is willing to allow GPLv3 usage of his version (I've asked here), would you be willing to allow GPLv3 usage of yours? (Note that -- as I understand the licensing -- I need permission from both of you before I can go forward with that.)

Thanks in advance.

That code was the reason I used CC-BY-NC-SA, so I'd be willing to mirror whatever Alexmoon does.

Never got an answer from @alexmoon, so I haven't done anything yet.

That said, after seeing your 'mainframe' code I thought you might find my
(first) KSP addon interesting -- possibly an alternative to your file-based
bridge between Java and KoS:
