License Conflict: MIT License with PyQt6 (GPLv3) #95

Closed kun-codes closed 1 week ago

kun-codes commented 2 weeks ago

Hi,

this isn't a bug report but I noticed that you have licensed this project with MIT license. PyQt6 is licensed under GPLv3 which isn't compatible with MIT. I suggest you switch to GPLv3 for this project after talking to every contributor till now since they hold a copyright over the code they contributed. You can choose to rewrite the code which has been contributed by someone else in case you aren't able to reach out to them or they don't agree to the change in license.

Hey @kun-codes!

Thank you for pointing this issue out. I've changed the license to GPLv3. Once again,

Thanks Rohan Kishore

I suggest you change licenses on your other pyqt6 projects too. By the way, did you ask the consent of other contributors before changing the license?

rohankishore commented 1 week ago

How can I ask consent of other contributors? And yes, I'll update other projects too

kun-codes commented 1 week ago

I guess tagging them in their PR and asking for consent works
