The license of this package is 'viral'

[gisostallenberg]

This package has a so called Viral license (GPL-2.0-or-later). Because of the 'viral' aspect of this, AFAIK this means that we are actually unable to use it in a closed source project.
Would it be possible to change this license to a non-viral one?

Thank you for opening an issue, we sent an email to Open Source Software Conservancy about it
We will let you know

Hi @ibennetch
Did you have some feedback from Conservancy ?

[gisostallenberg]

Hi, I'm just checking in to see if you have an update on this issue.

Hi everybody,

We are trying to plan a video call to discuss this with Conservancy
Personally I think LGPL would be fine and could be accepted. Would it match for your use on larastan ?

That said, getting all contributors to sign the re-licensing can be quite challenging and take some time.

[gisostallenberg]

LGPL would be fine

@niconoe- would LGPL be good for you too ?
