Open mara004 opened 1 month ago
I would like to, but this package is based on Mercurial's demandimport.py
which is GPLv2.
I see... The Readme says Matt Mackall is the original author.[^1] Has anyone yet attempted to ask them whether they would be willing to relicense this portion of code?
[^1]: though I hear they seem to have renamed themselves to Olivia Mackall
I'm not aware of anyone reaching out. Please feel free to do so.
The GPL is quite problematic for something as fundamental as an import utility. It means that any open-source project which strives to be liberal-licensed (e.g. pypdfium2) cannot use this package. Is there any chance of getting the license changed to something more permissive, such as Apache, BSD, MPL, LGPL or similar?
