The license referenced in the LICENSE file is for LGPL-3.0-only (LGPLv3). However the preambles in the python files in RTFDE/ as well as files in docs/RTFDE/ and scripts/ state the applicable license as GPL-3.0-or-later.

It appears the latter is the effective license. If so, could the LICENSE file as well as setup.py be updated to reflect the actual license that applies to the code?

I can supply a PR to that extent once it is clear which license applies to the code. The issue came to light during package review. I would like to package RTFDE for Fedora.

It looks like the LICENSE file was GPL-3.0-only earlier. This was changed in:

2ffdd05

Was that intentional?

Thank you for catching that. It looks like my snippet for inserting the license language in the code reverted to a backup. The correct License is GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 (LGPLv3). I'll update all the individual files.

Best,

Thanks. I will apply the patch when it's ready. But maybe this warrants a new release on PyPI? Either way, thank you for clarifying.

Thanks for fixing that. 👍

Are you planning on releasing 0.1.1 soon? If so, I wait. Otherwise, I'll grab the patch.

Yup, looking to release before the end of the weekend. I just have to run tests over my corpus of test emails with all the changes in place to make sure I didn't break anything.
