SDL rejects LLM contributions on basis that the source can't be determined, hence incompatible with zlib license.

I feel now slightly better with investing time in SDL backend for McCLIM :)

@jackdaniel Yes that made me think that about your work too! I was briefly affeared when I saw the letters SDL LLM together.

@jackdaniel And things are still evolving with SDL3, it's clearly a long term project. Not a lot of those.

@jackdaniel glad other people are starting to notice this. the people spewing out AI stuff and assigning it a GPL license are clueless. the code isn't subject to copyright and thus can't be assigned a license. (code licenses rely on copyright.)
