Hi @hyzhak

Does anyone really care? 😄 I think it's okay, even if it conflicts.

Hi @lexborisov! And thank you for response! I haven't expected to see you here ;), just finished to read your articles on habra and found that you already have new engine https://lexbor.com/docs/lexbor/, which is even better and faster. And what is very important it is under Apache 2.0 license (but maybe without python binding yet).

And yes, in my case open license is crucial - I planned to use your html-parser inside of data processing pipeline of one company. And we don't plan to make it open source yet.

Thanks @hyzhak

GPLv2 license allows use the code in closed projects. Everything is fine. As the author of the project, I guarantee that you can use the code in closed projects.

Use boldly!

LGPL license, unlike GPL, allows linking of LGPL libraries with closed source code, if the library itself remains to be open source.

I think this issue can be closed, provided no code from Modest is copied into this library, and instead it is simply used through its API. See https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/a/141848/67648
