Hey!

I asked a question on the other PR, but it seems to have been forgotten. Since this is a binary program, my understanding is that protecting the user's freedoms is important — and there is no obstacle to using GPL-licensed programs as part of one's build stack (as we do for e.g bash).

I know that Apache, BSD and similar licenses make it easier to integrate a library in a proprietary project; but that doesn't seem to apply here. Why would we try to restrict the end users' freedoms?

Natim commented 3 years ago

The question is legit but how using Apache2 license doesn't also protect the user's freedom?

mgu commented 3 years ago

@rbarrois I agree that GPL should not be an issue for this kind of CLI tool. But for (probably) bad reasons some people or companies refuse to use GPL softwares...

In my opinion this change doesn't reduce the end users freedom but may have some "marketing" impact. So why not ?

Shall we close this PR? /ping @mgu @rbarrois @Natim

wo0dyn commented 3 years ago

Sorry @Natim, we haven't had any news from @rbarrois regarding this PR, so let's close it for now.
