License issue #75

Hello,

I noticed that you use the MIT license for your library; however, in the dependencies, you have GPL3 libraries.

More exactly, the scikit-survival dependency is distributed under the GPL-3.0 License.

If you incorporate this kind of license, you also need to be GPL-3 (reference)

This can be problematic in the open-source community, for anyone using your library.

Don't get me wrong, I want to use your library, but your depends would force me to also distribute under the GPL-3 license. Please remove the GPL-3 dependencies or update your license accordingly.

We do not use any GPL-v3 Code directly in the package, the scikit-survival dependency is linked dynamically. But thank you for flagging this.

We will consult with appropriate software licensing department at the university and resolve this.
