Hi,

First, thanks for developing this package. It is extremely useful. I am using it in some training notebooks that I am developing to support pan-sensor ocean colour applications at EUMETSAT. However, I have a problem. Everything else I have developed to date is licensed under MIT. I have gone extensively out of my way to make sure that this is the case, as, due to the fact that GPL "contaminates" everything that it touches, the organisation is not very keen to use it. I have This is the only package that I have not been able to find a work-around for (developing alternative approaches to MDNs being far beyond me!!). I am wondering if you would consider releasing this under dual GPL / MIT licences?

I have no intention of limiting the distribution of this code, everything I do is open source anyway. But this does, of course, open up the prospect of using the MIT license to use the code in a proprietary setting for anyone who would want to do so.

I am open to alternative suggestions, should you have them!

Cheers,

Ben
