Automatically derive spray-json JsonFormats, powered by shapeless (no macros were written during the creation of this library).
For documentation, read the scaladocs and for examples read the test cases.
Please read the documentation and examples thoroughly before raising a ticket.

I would prefer a copyleft license because TypeSafe have set the precedent of closing sources and it is extremely concerning that this is happening within our community. The best way to fight back is by writing software with a license that guarantees your software's freedom.
I do not have a problem with anyone charging for software (I don't mind if something is not free as in gratis) but I abhor software which does not provide source code or allow me to change (i.e. fix it when it breaks, which it does almost always): free as in libre.
However, both of the primary upstream projects, spray-json and shapeless, are published under Apache v2, so it is more appropriate to publish this project on the same terms.
