Consider adopting a less restrictive license #28

Closed xylo04 closed 9 years ago

xylo04 commented 9 years ago

In reviewing my project's license compliance, I've been told that using texlive.js with GPL in my project requires that any other dependencies (in my case, Polymer and the Google JS API) also be made strictly GPL, which my company is unwilling to do. If there are no dependencies which require texlive.js to be GPL, would you consider changing to something else, perhaps LGPL? That would maintain the freedom and openness of texlive.js but also allow linking from non-GPL code.

Ah, wait, this is a duplicate of #10. Sorry for the churn.
