License change to MIT #107
Comments
The current license is actually LGPL-2.1. To summarize what that license requires (this is not legal advice, nor should it be construed as modifying the license terms), the idea of LGPL is that you can use it with an application that's otherwise closed-source, you just have to provide the source code for any changes that you make to this library, specifically to anyone that you distribute it to. |
That is good to know. I had always clumped GPL licenses together under the same objective. I will close this. |
Since @dotMorten has changed ProjNets license to MIT we might follow? |
Question about the license in this project if we can change it to MIT? The current license is GNL-GPU which is rather restrictive for privatized companies. Since this project is a derivative of NetTopologySuite (which has much less restrictive license) and also since much of the projection code is derived from here: https://github.com/dotMorten/ProjNET/tree/main/src/ProjNET which has an MIT license--I feel it could be appropriate. Just thought I'd check before I submit a PR . If not, that is totally fine. Best regards.
