Will more open-source licenses be accepted other than GNU in the future?

Will other types of open-source licenses be accepted other than GNU in the future?

Hello, I am asking this question because there are a lot of open-source libraries in Swift that can be easily converted to skippable libraries. But, they might not be in GNU licenses, so it can be a blocker to expend the community. Will you remove the limitations of to be GNU license in the future?

Thanks

The LGPL fits well with the project, and it harmonizes with many of the other projects we have integrations with: JNA, WebKit, JavaScriptCore, and others. Note that when a Skip integration framework is created, such as SkipFirebase, the integration framework itself can be LGPL, even if the backing libraries on both the iOS and Android sides are a different license (Apache-2.0, in the case of Firebase). They are generally considered compatible.

If there are other projects that can, themselves, be converted into Skip libraries, then we may handle those on a case-by-case basis. Note that any license can be used with Skip, but in order to support them in Skip's free mode, they need to be a compatible OSS license.
