A question of license

Open sliptonic opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Out of curiosity, Since this project was 'inspired' by SVGNest, why did you choose a GPL3 license instead of following the MIT license of the original project?

I've been looking for a better bin packing implementation for inclusion in FreeCAD but GPL3 is a non-starter for us.

Hi @sliptonic ! The license is LGPL3 not GPL3. The licence had to be in line with PrusaSlicer which is Affero GPLv3, so this project started out as such. Later it was changed to LGPLv3 which was an acceptable compromise.
