In the Cargo.toml file, the license is license = " GPL-2.0", which is the only reference to a license I can find. Is this literally GPL-2.0, or would you consider GPL-2.0+ (or any later version)?

It would help to put the "gpl-banner" on your source code files.

Thank you!

Hi @rubdos, thanks for your feedback!

I was planning on GPL-2.0 only unless you have a good reason to convince me otherwise ;)
You're right, according to GPL you have to put the banner into the files. I am just rewriting this project using tokio and I will put the banners in all files there!

Well, I was actually about to ask to provide this crates as a library, to build other DHT applications on. For those applications, it would be nice to have a wider license compatibility.

That sounds more like a use case of LGPL, doesn't it?

For sure, but in my case, I would be licensing my application as AGPLv3+, so GPL*+ would already cut it for me :-)
