Hi Tom, i decided to publish the code of the app under the Apache 2 licence. However the c++ code that deals with image processing uses the stricter GLP v3 since that is the place where i put a lot of effort into.
The project still needs a readme and instructions on how to build the binaries. For someone with a bit of Android/NDK experience it should be not a big problem however. Readme and build instructions will follow in a couple of days. https://github.com/renard314/textfairy Cheers! Renard Am Samstag, 11.
