Hi.

Thanks for your great package. I would like to use this, but currently the licenes is keeping me from doing so.

Would you consider changing the license to something like MIT or maybe having a dual license?

Kind regards,

Hello @victorlap

Thanks for your interest. I am not exactly sure if it is a good idea. As you can imagine, there is a reason why projects use GPL license and usually they won't change it.

That said, as far as I understand, GPL can absorb MIT license code. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/License_compatibility#GPL_compatibility

Thanks!
