The source is using `.cpp`, though it does not appear to be using any C++ features.

Would it be reasonable to move to `.c` so that it can be integrated in all sorts of things?

Aside, when something is Apache licensed, and someone wants to make, say an Erlang NIF with something, what effects does that embedding have on the NIF library and users of the NIF library?

what would be a better license to use to encourage people to use it?

also good point about CPP I will change that.

MIT and BSD licenses are very embeddable, but I am not familiar enough with Apache licensing when it comes to embedding. This is why I ask.
