Healthy across the board
copyleft license (LGPL-2.1) — review compatibility
Has a license, tests, and CI — clean foundation to fork and modify.

- ✓Last commit today
- ✓44+ active contributors
- ✓Distributed ownership (top contributor 10% of recent commits)

- ✓Tests present
What would improve this?
- →Use as dependency Concerns → Mixed if: relicense under MIT/Apache-2.0 (rare for established libs)
