Thank you for the project. You've did a great job.

I've noticed that you have set LGPL as the License for this repo.
I thought it's a bit strange to use LGPL for standalone application, so, I've decided to check on the Internet is it even possible.
And I found that according to Epic Games EULA you can't "combine" LGPL with Unreal Engine.

5.a

You may not, and may not permit others to, combine, Distribute, or otherwise use the Licensed Technology with any code or other content which is covered by a license that would directly or indirectly require that all or part of the Licensed Technology be governed under any terms other than those of this Agreement (those licenses, the “Non-Compatible Licenses”). This means, for example, that you may not combine the Licensed Technology with code or content that is licensed under any of the following licenses: GNU General Public License (GPL), Lesser GPL (LGPL) (unless you are merely dynamically linking a shared library), or Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.
