Licensing issue - ExchangeMonthlyLimitsModule.sol #246

Description

@Icedcool

Nethermind is working to provide an implementation of ERC-3643 Asset Tokenization standard for Starknet. It will include translation of existing Solidity implementation into Cairo smart contract suite.

Our translation would include the following smart contract:

Issue

The above smart contract seems to have been dual licensed under GPLv3 and CC-BY-NC-4.0.

The GPLv3 element of the license does not create problems - the other smart contracts in the ERC-3643 Solidity implementation are similarly licensed under GPLv3, and this was therefore the intended license for the Cairo implementation in any case.

However, the CC-BY-NC-4.0 license restricts commercial use and may therefore severely limit the utility of our implementation.


Importantly GPLv3 specifically grants users the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software for any purpose, including commercial purposes. The CC-BY-NC-4.0 license, with its "non-commercial" restriction, directly conflicts with this freedom.

Was this dual licensing an accident?
