Licensed conda channels #230

Open trum994 opened 2 months ago

trum994 commented 2 months ago

Hello there. People from our organization would like to use souporcell but because licensed Anaconda channels seem to be used in this repo we will not be able to do so. Are there any plans to limit conda env to use only non-commercial channels?

What is your organization and what are the commercial conda channels used? I would like my tool to be as open and free as possible. I was unaware of this limitation until now.

Thank you for your quick response! I'm not too familiar with the legal side but their TOS recently changed and our organization did not renew our license. We're restricted from using any tool/software that was built using conda and the default channel. This page tries to explain it. Our guidance is to use miniforge instead without the licensed channels. Using conda-forge works out fine usually. Let me know if you'd be willing to release a new version. I could also try a pull request.
