Permissive license such as MIT?

[jzazo]

Hi Marco. Thanks for making this package, it looks really nice. However, I am blocked in my project from using non-permissive licenses such as LGPL. The original project had MIT License. Would you consider changing the license to a permissive one? I completely understand if you have your reasons for keeping it as is. I didn't see any discussions about it. Thanks a lot.

LGPL is permissive. Indeed its name is Lesser GPL.

Thanks Marco. It is still somehow limiting, and it warrants a review process from compliance team in the company I work for every time it gets updated. I will not be able to use it because of that, but thanks for your answer.

What are the limits you have problems with?
Furthermore, the license remains the same at every update, so why your company should do a review each time?

I will quote my manager on this: "it will get flagged by component governance and will need a human review to make sure we're using it in a compliant way. With the current tooling, each time the version changes it will get flagged for review again".

We could use it, but it would add burden to my manager to explain how we use it, and I would prefer not to do that.

Thanks for following up on this in any case.
