Q: unidecode dependency is GPL: problem or not?

[justvanrossum]

I noticed that the unidecode dependency (https://pypi.org/project/Unidecode/) is GPL.

I haven't found clear answers on how that would affect the licensing of code that uses it, such as fontbakery, but at least some answers suggest that simply writing import some_gpl_module makes your code derivative and therefore should be GPL.

@davelab6 do you know the answer to this?
