We are discussing this internally, will comment here when we have an update.
@davide125 To give you an idea of what we want to use this for: we're looking to remake the manaservice
tool in Python for managing services, and it'd be great if we can use this module to simplify the work to do that. However, our developers are skittish about the current license, which prompted me to request it to be relicensed.
We have the go ahead from the lawyers to relicense this project to LGPL-2.1+
. I'll make the necessary changes, and the next release will be under the new license.
Excellent, thanks!
Would you guys consider relicensing pystemd away from BSD+Patents to either plain
BSD-3-Clause
orLGPL-2.1+
(the same license as libsystemd, which is a dependency of this)?The BSD+Patents license is confusing and concerning for us in the ManaTools project for leveraging the module.
