   134    134   while PRs adding support for Windows, OS X, and other operating systems will be gratefully accepted, the maintainer is a Linux and FreeBSD developer, will not be writing such support infrastructure herself, and has limited ability to vet code for those platforms.

   136    136   ## license
   137    137   
   138    138   libk is released under the terms of the [GNU AGPLv3](LICENSE). contributors do not relinquish ownership of the code they contribute, but agree to release it under the same terms as the overall project license.

   140         -the AGPL may seem like an inappropriately restrictive license for a project with such grandiose ambitions. it is an ideological choice. i selected it because libk is intended very specifically as a contribution to the *free software* community, a community that i hope will continue to grow at the expense of closed-source ecosystems. i have no existence in enabling people or corporations to profit from keeping secrets, especially not with my own free labor (or anyone else's, for that matter).

   142    142   if you disagree with this philosophy, you are welcome to continue using libc.

   144    144   ## what does the k stand for?
   145    145   
   146    146   nothing. it was chosen in reference to libc - the letter C was part of the original roman alphabet, while K was added later by analogy to the Greek kappa ‹κ›. in my native language, the older letter ‹c› can make a number of different sounds based on context, including [k] and [s], while ‹k› is fairly consistently used for the sound [k]. hopefully the analogy is obvious.

   148    148   this project has nothing to do with KDE.
