GPL licensed dependency `ruby-graphviz`

By pulling in that dependency, my understanding is you cannot release this code under the MIT license.

https://github.com/ioquatix/graphviz is an alternative using the MIT license.

Hi Samuel, thanks for the hint! Will check it and likely just remove this not really needed dependency. Earlier I just had a shell call for the graphviz dot tool like dot ...

@geekq Hi! Is there a plan to drop or change ruby-graphviz? Would prefer to not have a graphing feature then discuss with legal team if its ok to use what you call not really needed dependency. ;)

ruby-graphviz creeped in with some pull request a while ago. Will replace it back with a shell call - need to search for it in the history. Planning to do it during my "ruby workflow" day next week.
