If the intention was to make it easier to spread the word, you've already failed.

Anyway, this whole library should have been a copy-pastable snippet for a dialog or toast (what's with the duplicate code?); the only value added is the translation, which most app devs already have a pipeline for.

The code part is so trivial that I suspect it doesn't even meet the legal bar for copyright protection in many jurisdictions.

People under-value copy-pasting. I'd rather copy/vendor a thousand lines of code (with license+credit intact) than add it as a dependency.

I'm working on a side project, and needed a CPIO library for Go. CPIO is a fixed thing, a good implementation is "done". U-root[1] has a really decent implementation, so I've vendored 2500+ lines of code, as otherwise I'd have to (indirectly) depend on almost 700.000. Great value.

OP, I recommend switching to the LGPLv3. It ensures users remain in control over your part of the code while avoiding this type of reaction.

		Not really, it would have maybe avoided the first paragraph. I actually really like copyleft, but I assume the social statement here is more important than the code, thus making it easier to rally around it should be the priority. A CC0 copy-pastable snippet, plus maybe this helper library with a permissive licence. The only way this would go popular is through slacktivism, so you need to remove any friction.

		That's more fitting! I wish I had a popular app to spread the word from, I do like the spirit of your project.
