Hi @sshveta, thanks for opening this issue. In general, because GPL-3.0 is a "strong copyleft" license, it is not often approved by the CNCF Governing Board / Legal Committee for dependencies that are directly linked to CNCF code (I understand that this a repo for testing, but this will still likely raise concerns for them).

Your request say that there are no alternatives available but it looks like https://dev.to/samelawrence/how-i-implement-drag-and-drop-in-my-cypress-tests-ppg has a mechanism to implement drag-and-drop test cases for Cypress, using cypress-real-events, and it uses an MIT licensed dependency (which would not require Governing Board approval). Is it possible to use this dependency instead?
