LGPL v2.1 licensing

Open dbadea-dn opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Current license is LGPL v2.1 which does not clearly state what happens with interpreted code. For example, is import pyipmi considered dynamic linking or not? It could be considered the Python equivalent of C's #include that is static usage under license terms.

Please consider licensing python-ipmi also under a MIT or BSD license.

I doubt that is possible. All contributors would have to agree to that.
