Hi, thanks for this package. This looks like the haskell brotli bindings that I've been waiting for 👍

I noticed that the license is GPL3. Is this intentional? The brotli C library is MIT and your "brotli-conduit" package is BSD3, and a bunch of your other released packages are MIT/BSD.

Would you consider changing the license of this package to be non-copyleft?

Hi, we hit the same issue. Our project is licensed under Apache and we recently made a change to add brotli compression and realized that this package is licensed under GPLv3. Will you consider moving to something that is more common on hackage like MIT or BSD?

Although brotli itself is MIT-licensed, the Haskell brotli library that provides bindings to it is GPL-licensed, so we cannot use it unless we get a response on haskell-hvr/brotli#1.

Maintainer says: I can't really do something on the license issue since I am not the author of the package.
