Hi @KevinOConnor - thanks again for creating such a great library. I'm currently looking at wrapping it for MicroPython and was hoping to submit a PR to include it by default as I imagine it would be useful for many other people. However, the GPLv3 prevents this, so I was wondering if you would consider licensing it under a more permissive license to allow it to be included in other open source projects? Or providing an exemption for this purpose? Obviously it's your right to license it however you want, but it seems a shame if the license prevents your awesome code being used by even more people.
