License issue: dependencies are LGPL'ed #189

Closed evanmoses-okta closed 3 years ago

Hi, I'd love to use your library, it's very nicely done, but some of your transitive dependencies (specifically juju/ansiterm) are licensed under the LGPL, and that means I can't use it in my product. The LGPL specifically requires that libraries be dynamically linked to not "infect" applications that depend on them (that is, if you statically link against a LGPL'ed library, you must license the entire app with the LGPL). This probably affects your library as well, IANAL but you may be in violation of that license.

It looks like this library may be a more permissively-licensed alternative: https://github.com/logrusorgru/aurora
