Status of package and licensing about quadpy HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for the very quick response! Quadpy has been a really useful software package, I hope the license change isn't due to any gray hair maintaining it has caused.

Regarding the copyright/licensing comment, I hope it was read in the spirit it was intended, i.e. as an FYI rather than a "gotcha" :-)

Just update, I've pushed the change back for a while.

On a more legally-minded note, are you the sole copyright holder of code in quadpy after the license change? If not, you cannot re-license the software without the explicit permission of all copyright holders. Such is the nature of open-source. While I'm sure you are by far the main contributor, the (stripped) GitHub page still shows 6 contributors:

I know. That's why I've removed all code contributions by other people. (This wasn't too hard since the project never received much colab interest.)

Actually it is. Maintaining so many software packages is hard, and I couldn't do it in my spare time anymore. That's why I'm moving some of the packages into my "professional time" window so I can keep maintaining and adding features.

I'm always happy about feedback!

Just btw, what are you using quadpy for? What parts of quadpy are most interesting to you?

I can understand that. Hopefully it works out!

Some colleagues and I developed this (quasi-static) magnetic field modelling package that uses quadpy for the quadrature schemes (pretty simple ones): https://bfieldtools.github.io/
