text-unidecode is released under the Artistic license
See original GitHub issuetext-unidecode is released under the Artistic license v1.0, which is considered non-free by the FSF (and therefore not compatible with the GPL). I believe this clause is also of concern to commercial users of faker too:
- You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package as a product of your own.
Not being able to charge a fee for the software is problematic for those of us who are contractors, for example.
I realise there aren’t really any good alternatives (unidecode is GPL licensed as pointed out in #628 , isounidecode doesn’t support Python 3), so would a patch making text-unidecode an optional dependency be acceptable?
