@olivierlambert,

You created this repo with the LGPL license in place. The intent is to extract the SDK code from https://github.com/terra-farm/terraform-provider-xenorchestra into this repository. The current Terraform provider code is MIT licensed. If we move the code, we would actually be re-licensing the code.

Can you elaborate why you want this to be LGPL?

@ddelnano what is your take on this?

olivierlambert commented 2 years ago

We usually use aGPLv3 at Vates. For a lib, I thought LGPL was better suited.

I'm not a license expert, what's the pro of MIT vs LGPL?

ringods commented 2 years ago

Go, statically linking and LGPL don't go very well together.

Please allow for a more permissive license like MIT.

Okay I didn't know that. Changing the license then.
