Hello, This is the upgrade of the full LLM rewrite with the controversial licence change: The relicensing of chardet [LWN.net] https://lwn.net/Articles/1061534/ Last time we rejected the upgrade, I'm not sure the situation has changed: See previous discussion: https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/ and: |commit 4e85dedfcf31f8b4c3d248531c958a635eea0379 |Author: Alexander Kanavin <[email protected]> |Date: Wed May 27 19:35:47 2026 +0200 | | python3-chardet: lock version check to 6.x versions | | There's a well-publicised controversy around AI-assisted rewrite | for the purpose of relicensing from GPL to BSD: | https://lwn.net/Articles/1061534/ | | Both Debian and Fedora are steering clear of 7.x: | | https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-chardet/pull-request/15 | https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1129923 If the situation has changed, I think it should be addressed in the commit message.
