Potential license issue

Open ozancaglayan opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Hello,

Although easyOCR is licensed with Apache, python-bidi dependency is LGPLv3 so (I think that) technically this avoids licensing easyOCR as Apache. (See a similar thread here and some other notes).

Would you be able to at least provide bidi support through an extension package that can be installable by pip install easyocr[bidi] and leave out that dependency for the bare easyOCR repository? I dont know if there are other libraries that can be used instead of python-bidi as the latter seems to be unmaintained for 3 years.

Many thanks for this wonderful library.
