Original code is dual-licensed, in that case the author of derived work can choose one of the two licenses or both.[1] I went for LGPL, that is weakly protective but perfectly compatible with MIT "Expat" license, which is the most common in Julia ecosystem, so that most of Julia package can use this package. For the time being I don't plan to change the license. > +1 for ComplexRoots.jl Ok, then I'll see how to change the name of the package in METADATA.jl In a separate branch of current repository I'm also working on adding support for arbitrary precision calculations, so the renamed package will feature this new capability.
