Less strict license? #1

Closed nrenner closed 4 years ago

The GPL license of this and the overpass-frontend project prevents us from using them in our MIT-licensed project (brouter-web).

Which is a pity, as this seems to be the most advanced and best maintained Overpass API plugin for Leaflet.

In case you don't have strong opinions about strict copyleft, would it be an option to switch both projects to a more permissive license, that allows to include libraries without the same license restriction? Like LGPL or even MIT, which seems to be the most used license for Leaflet plugins and other JS libs (e.g. see our credits list).

I already started to change, but there are some dependencies which I also have to change:
