libfoxenflac is a C library. libfoxenflac has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

A: Foxen is a mysterious glowing object guiding Auri through the catacumbal “Underthing”. The Foxen software libraries are similar in key aspects: mysterious and catacumbal. Probably less useful than an eternal sympathy lamp though. A: The Foxen libraries are extremely small C libraries that rely on the Meson build system for dependency management. One common element is that the libraries do not use heap memory allocations. They can thus be easily compiled to tiny, standalone WASM code. A: Excellent question! The author mainly created these libraries because he grew tired of copying his own source code files between projects all the time. A: That depends. Some of the code is fairly specialized according to my own needs and might not be intended to be general. If what you are going to use these libraries for something that aligns with their original purpose, then sure, go ahead. Otherwise, I'd probably advise against using these libraries, and as explained below, I'm not super open to expanding their scope. A: Maybe, if you ask nicely. I'm not a fan of giving my work away “for free” (i.e., allowing inclusion of my code in commercial or otherwise proprietary software) without getting something back (in particular public access to the source code of the things other people built with it). That being said, some of the foxen libraries may be too trivial to warrant the use of a strong copyleft licence. Correspondingly, I might reconsider this decision for individual libraries. See “Why you shouldn't use the Lesser GPL for your next library” for more info. A: Sure! Feel free to open an issue or a PR. However, be warned that since I've mainly developed these libraries for use in my own stuff, I might be a little picky about what I'm going to include and what not.
