Licensing compatibility

[Likkkez]

I really love what you guys have achieved! I've always had issues with color mixing in digital paint. However, when I looked into this I see people saying it can't be implemented in open source software because of the license. Is it possible to adjust the licensing to something GNU compatible? I'd hate to see this lost to time because of legal hurdles. I would really love this in Krita/GIMP/Blender3D.

Two years and no reply. It's fairly widely understood that CC licences are unsuitable for code:

It's hard to see how GPL or AGPL wouldn't fit well with the intentions of the current licence. While it doesn't preclude commercial use - it does preclude usage in closed source products - which in many practical ways amounts to the same thing.

Any chance of an official response to this?

Yea its been more than 2 years since this thing was released and it's pretty much used nowhere because of the wrong license. What was even the point of coding this, just showing off? If the point was improving the digital art space for everyone this is a very big blunder.
