Any plans to release this package under another license scheme such as MIT, BSD, Apache 2.0? #197

Hi,

This package is released under the GNU General Public License v3 and as a matter of fact that license might be a bit aggressive for some use-cases.

Is there is specific reason you choose to go with the GPL v3?

When I look at the code and I see other packages of similar depth and use, the licenses schemes in those pacakages are a bit more permissive. Most Django packages are releasef with either a MIT or BSD license or possibly the Apache Software License 2.0.

At the moment I was conveying a survey of used licenses in underlying libraries of our cloud product and this package is refered to and used. Hence it came up to make you aware.

Good question. Wondering the same.

And also, it is not clear if it is GPLv3 only or GPLv3 or later. See https://choosealicense.com/licenses/gpl-3.0/ on the right-hand side ("How to apply this license").

There is no standard license header in any source code that would hint at this.
