potiuk opened a new issue #16929:
URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/16929


   As discussed at length in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-572  
we found out that the chardet library used by requests library was a mandatory 
dependency to requests and since it has LGPL licence, we should not release any 
Apache Software with it. 
   
   Since then (and since in Airflow we rely on requests heavily) we have been 
working with the requests maintainers and "charset-normalizer" maintainer to 
make it possible to replace chardet with MIT-licensed charset-normalizer 
instead so that requests library can be used in Python releases by Apache 
projects.
   
   This was a bumpy road but finally the PR by @ashb has been merged: 
https://github.com/psf/requests/pull/5797 and we hope soon a new version of 
requests library will be released. 
   
   Once the new release is ready we should bump to the new version and we 
should help with testing when RC is available.
