Hi @mayurnile, are you sure you want to release this as GPL3? This forces any app that wants to use this package to also be open sourced and licensed under GPL3. This is a good package but the license heavily limits its adoption

Hi @andreasgan can you suggest which licensing should I go with, anyways it's totally open source project?

andreasgangso commented 1 year ago

Hi, I would suggest MIT, its a very permissive license which allows people to use it in closed source projects, commercially. Remi rousselet who writes a lot of open source flutter plugins (e.g provider/riverpod/hooks) uses MIT.

Indeed. Cannot use it in my project, just because of GPL3, I am not going to share my full project open source as I make it for client. So I cannot use this.
