FAQ |

|
|
|
#### What's the license? |
|
|
|
These libraries are in the public domain (or the equivalent where that is not |
|
possible). You can do anything you want with them. You have no legal obligation |
|
to do anything else, although I appreciate attribution. |
|
|
|
#### If I wrap an stb library in a new library, does the new library have to be public domain? |
|
|
|
No. |
|
|
|
#### A lot of these libraries seem redundant to existing open source libraries. Are they better somehow? |
|
|
|
Generally they're only better in that they're easier to integrate, |
|
easier to use, and easier to release (single file; good API; no |
|
attribution requirement). They may be less featureful, slower, |
|
and/or use more memory. If you're already using an equivalent |
|
library, there's probably no good reason to switch. |
|
|
|
#### Will you add more image types to stb_image.c? |
|
|
|
If people submit them, I generally add them, but the goal of stb_image |
|
is less for applications like image viewer apps (which need to support |
|
every type of image under the sun) and more for things like games which |
|
can choose what images to use, so I may decline to add them if they're |
|
too rare or if the size of implementation vs. apparent benefit is too low. |
|
|
|
#### Are there other single-file public-domain libraries out there? |
|
|
|
Yes. I'll put a list here when people remind me what they are. |
