Hi Luke,I do not wish to go that route as I want this package to be used by everyone without putting their packages in contrib or non-free.
Either way, this package was only used for some tests and I excluded those tests in the dependent package.
The author of this library just responded to my request to change the license [1] and said he will talk to some people and come to a decision about it.
If the author isn't willing to reconsider the license decision even after further discussion then I'll have no option but to drop the package as this is a python library that's meant to be a free software.
