Make it clear right away that this library is LGPL version 2.1 or later.

Why is that important? I can choose whichever license I want and I did not choose the current license with any awareness of which license would be better. I've been considering changing the license to MIT just so it was the same as Python but I was under the impression LGPL and MIT are compatible. |

I've packaged python nameparser for Debian. It should be available soon. I'm not a full Debian Developer so I had to have my package reviewed by a mentor. He suggested that I might ask you to make the license more specific. The full text description already says version 2.1 or later, so I thought it doesn't hurt to say it near the beginning of the file. I think the switch from LGPL to MIT is a good idea. The FSF discourages the use of the LGPL. You're right that LGPL and MIT are compatible. |
