Hello,

Very nice bundle. Just tried to install it and everything seems to be working. However, I noticed that Metamorph (.stk) files are not loaded correctly. Would it be possible to add napari-aicsimageio?

These installation instructions worked for me:

conda install -c conda-forge openjdk
pip install aicsimageio bioformats_jar
pip install napari-aicsimageio

Hi @tibuch ,

yes, I would love to add it again. It was just recently removed because of licensing issues (it's now GPL licensed). I'm thinking of starting devbio-napari-gpl where we could collect those things and also for example napari-pymeshlab (which is also GPL licensed).

Let me know what you think!

Best,
Robert

Makes sense. I think devbio-napari-gpl would then be helpful. Installing two things (devbio-napari and devbio-napari-gpl) is still better than installing everything individually :)

Thanks for the work!

Best,
Tim-Oliver

Let's keep this one open to not forget to do it 😉

Just wanted to chime in and say that I have also been considering this behavior as well... creating a napari-aicsimageio (for BSD) and a napari-aicsimageio-gpl (for GPL)

Licensing is a nightmare and the fact that we need to have two packages for it is so annoying and just creates a worse user-experience but 🤷‍♀️ the lawyers tell me I need to.
