License Question/Concern #59

Closed seakrueger closed 2 months ago

seakrueger commented 2 months ago

Hello,

I noticed your project is based on jpegxl-rs which is licensed under GPLv3, but your project is licensed under an MIT license. GPLv3 is a copyleft licenses requiring derivative works to adhere to it. Per the GPLv3(5)(c), I believe you are conveying a "work based on the Program". A quick google returns a Stack Overflow thread that agrees. This question arose from a discussion on a GPLv3-licensed project (TagStudioDev/TagStudio#344) so either license is compatible, but just wanted some clarification.

Sorry and thank you!

Thanks for your information! I didn't pay attention to the license before, this is definitely a valid concern. I will correct the project license with the GPLv3 same as jpegxl-rs.
