possible). You can do anything you want with them. You have no legal obligation

Yes. I'll even tell you about some. However, I haven't used most of these libraries
and can't comment on their quality. (If you use them and aren't their author, feel
free to tell me about their quality.)

*List FAQ*
###### Can I link directly to this list?
You can use [this URL](https://github.com/nothings/stb#other_libs) to link directly to this list.
###### Why isn't library XXX which is made of 3 or more files on this list?
I draw the line arbitrarily at 2 files at most. (Note that some libraries that appear to
be two files require a separate LICENSE file, which made me leave them out). Some of these
libraries are still easy to drop into your project and build, so you might still be ok with them.
But since people come to stb for single-file public domain libraries, I feel that starts
to get too far from what we do here.
###### Why isn't library XXX which is at most two files and has minimal other dependencies on this list?
Probably because I don't know about it, feel free to submit an issue. But I might not include
it for various other reasons, including subtleties of what is 'minimal other dependencies' and
subtleties about what is 'lightweight'.
###### Why isn't sqllite's amalgamated build on this list?
Come on.
#### If I wrap an stb library in a new library, does the new library have to be public domain?
No.
#### A lot of these libraries seem redundant to existing open source libraries. Are they better somehow?
#### Some of these libraries seem redundant to existing open source libraries. Are they better somehow?
Generally they're only better in that they're easier to integrate,
easier to use, and easier to release (single file; good API; no
