LGPL may not apply #18

Closed larsmans closed 10 years ago

larsmans commented 10 years ago

The current semanticizer depends on Python-Levenshtein, which is GPL-licensed. I am not a lawyer, but I believe that as a result, the whole package is GPL-licensed, not LGPL.

(Fortunately it's GPL 2 or later; otherwise, linking with Levenshtein and NLTK would have been illegal.)

dodijk commented 10 years ago

I'm not sure, but that might be. If so, we should probably remove those dependencies. There are probably other implementations of Levenshtein edit distance. NLTK is only use for sentence splitting, can find an alternative for that as well.

larsmans commented 10 years ago

NLTK is not a problem as it's Apache-licensed.

WIP.

dodijk commented 10 years ago

Excellent. I’d very much rather use that package.

I just finished a 1.0 release of Leven and put it on PyPI. Let's try to get it in the semanticizer tomorrow.

With that, it becomes a duplicate of #28. Closed.
