Hi bhollis
I actually prefer free software over open software and therefore chose GPL deliberately. However, I don't want to keep people from using the software if they have good intents. Do you have a specific usecase?
from uri_template.
My intention was to use it as part of the Middleman blog plugin: https://github.com/middleman/middleman-blog, but I don't want to apply the terms of the AGPLv3 to my MIT-licensed software (or to Middleman itself, which is also MIT). Middleman is used in commercial environments where GPLv3 is unacceptable.

Note that this is no longer a huge deal as I have already switched my code to use addressable
, but I wanted to file this issue just to make you aware that AGPLv3 licensing is in conflict with most Ruby library/application licenses.

I recently ran into the AGPLv3 licensing of this gem. I would love to see the license changed to something better-aligned with the Rubygems community at large.
We're using Hyperclient in some batch-processing tasks that interact with an API we've built. Hyperclient is MIT-licensed software, but it carries a dependency on uri_template. While it seems like we should be able to use uri_template after reading through the AGPLv3 text and various interpretations (we're not creating a derivative work, only using the library via its defined API), the license doesn't lend the kind of confidence I'm accustomed to from the Ruby license (2-clause BSD) or MIT license.
We'd love to continue using it, but may not be able to on account of others' feelings about the license.

Hi All
I'm a bit sad about this. Having a gem with MIT licence depending on a non-MIT gem is certainly a strange state. While I still like the AGPL, I've changed the licence to MIT with release 0.7.0 .
Have fun using it :)
