Howdy! I'm currently working on a fork of JWM, and one of the features I'd like to add is support for global menus in the panel (JWM calls it a "tray"). However, one of my design goals for the project is to keep all code used in it under a permissive license, and this appears to be the best or only library that can add this sort of feature that doesn't depend on a UI toolkit library (at least, not that I could find), but it's GPL. So I was wondering if you'd be willing to relicense it under a more permissive license. I think doing so might drum up a bit more interest in it, so maybe more people would be willing to help develop and use it, and maybe they'd be interested in using it in their own Louvre-based WMs ;)

Hello, I've been working on supporting global menus in helloSystem.

Along the way I have documented the various bits and pieces that are apparently needed to make global menus work for Qt and Gtk applications, as well as for Electron based applications and for Firefox and Thunderbird:

• Is your solution cleaner?
• Does it need DBus?
• Can it support Gtk applications?
