@italo-goncalves I like the project you have put up here, but it's licensed under GPL, which makes any project that references this package GPL, can you move it to another license like Apache 2.0?

Thank you very much for your interest. At this point in the project the GPLv3 feels more natural, as I'm a government employee and everything is still very experimental. If the project manages to grow and get enough traction, a change of license is definitely a possibility.

The issue is if contributors help and want to use the project in your project, GPL turns them away.

I just wanted to follow up with this. Your license currently makes any other project open source as well. Can you please switch it?

Dear @achapkowski , thanks again for your interest. This is a possibility that I would be glad to discuss with you privately. You can find me on LinkedIn.

Cheers.
