Unfortunately I don't think I can. (though I am certainly not a lawyer) The fuzzywuzzy code this is based on was stuck on GPL because they used some code from python-Levenshtein.
Oh, I got ya, it's the dependency from the python counterpart... Thanks for explaining! Too bad, was such a nice experience integrating your package, but we'd have to use for alternatives :-(
Hi,
could you perhaps use the alternative library as suggested in this issue?
Hmm, ya looks like maybe I can. The original has updated it's license too it looks like. Will do a double check to make sure I don't have any other gpl code im using and I'll update the license.
Hello 👋 , any update on this? We're facing the same issue where we'd love to use this library but cant because of the license
Hey @nol13 we are also blocked by the GPL license. Do you have plans on updating the package license?
Fuzzball is now licensed under MIT.
Hi! Is GPL used for this project deliberately?
We were banned from using this lib in our project by our legal team because apparently installing a package is not considered "Separate Works". If you could reconsider a more permissive licence that would actually allow usage in a commercial project, that would be amazing!
