Use permissive license #4

Closed letmaik closed 3 years ago

letmaik commented 4 years ago

pyvirtualcam bundles code from https://github.com/Fenrirthviti/obs-virtual-cam (fork of https://github.com/CatxFish/obs-virtual-cam) in pyvirtualcam/native_windows/queue/, which is GPL-2. This is why pyvirtualcam itself is GPL-2.

I opened https://github.com/CatxFish/obs-virtual-cam/issues/115 asking whether the license could be changed to something more permissive.

The new macOS port also includes GPL code (from OBS / obs-mac-virtualcam). Closing this issue as it's unlikely upstream will change their license.

Hi letmaik,

Would it be acceptable to create an OBS-free branch of pyvirtualcam with e.g., a MIT License ?

letmaik commented 2 years ago

Unfortunately, I don't think I'll have the resources to commit to a GPL-free variant (whether as separate branch/repo or just another set of wheels published under a separate name), just from a time perspective.
