Exempi is an implementation of XMP. Version 2.x is based on Adobe XMP SDK and released under a BSD-style license like Adobe’s. The 3 clause BSD (aka New-BSD) license is compatible with GPL. The licensing is kept identical in order to allow two-way merging of the code (ie sending our change to the XMP SDK to Adobe for integration).
The API is C based and means to be used from any language and be easier to maintain ABI stability.
The overall changes include:
* STABLE C API/ABI for the library, instead of a C++ template based version.
* Rust bindings (available separately).
* No CLA to contribute.
* Build system based on automake.
* Code changes for more UNIX systems compatibility.
* Broader architecture support.
* WebP support.
* Test suite.
There is also a work in progress “exempi” command line tool starting in 2.2.0
