More permissive license
See original GitHub issueI have imported the spectral
package into my code because it works great and is easy to use. It is a processing script of hyperspectral data, which I want to provide as open-source software here on GitHub. I want to provide it with a very permissive license, meaning MIT or BSD-3-Clause. With the GNU GPL2 licensed spectral
package as import, this is not possible as far as I see it.
Can you please
a) change the license of spectral
to a more permissive license such as MIT or BSD-3-Clause, or
b) give me permission to use your spectral
package in my repository?
If not, please let me know. I think this is important information for every user of your package.
Thank you very much in advance!

Dual-licensing is probably overkill here. I don’t see patent protection being a major issue so the MIT license should be fine. Thanks for the quick reply.
@tboggs I’ll try to get to this tomorrow yes. Thanks
