What's the current most permissive license for code and algorithms? I thought it was MIT, but apparently there's problems with it? CC0 doesn't feel quite right - isn't that more for art/assets?
STB seems to have two licenses - MIT and "Public Domain (www.unlicense.org)". I guess I could just copy what STB does?
