This clause prevents use with GPL type of license but as far as I
know, there is no problem with LGPL or MIT for example.

A caution about PowerCollections: it has a bizarre license. In
particular, this term here:

---8<---
In return, we simply require that you agree:
[...]
B.      That you are not allowed to combine or distribute the Software
with other software that is licensed under terms that seek to require
that the Software (or any intellectual property in it) be provided in
source code form, licensed to others to allow the creation or
distribution of derivative works, or distributed without charge.
--->8---

If you depend on PowerCollections, it limits your ability to open-source
your own code later. I never gotten past the license, after I saw this
clause.
