Use of instant
crate imcompatible w/ MIT license?
#54
Comments
IANAL, but if I remember right the main restriction of the BSD 3 clause license over the MIT/Apache2 license is that you can't use the package for advertising. Realistically I don't think this is an issue, since there are plenty of MIT-licensed packages that use |

Right and in general when you statically link two libs under different licenses, doesn't the more restrictive license becomes the effective one?
True. That does make it unlikely that there is a problem but if there is a problem, I don't think "others are doing it too" argument would hold in a court. :) |
I ran
cargo lichking check
against zbus and according to that BSD-3-Clause license ofinstant
is incompatible with MIT license of zbus. Seems this is the only crate that brings in this dep. IANAL so can't be sure this is a problem but I wanted to bring this to attention.@smol-rs/admins ?
