Request to consider relicensing stpyvista under Apache 2.0 Or MIT #37

Hi @edsaac,

Thank you for creating and maintaining stpyvista—it’s a great tool for bringing PyVista visualizations into Streamlit apps.

I wanted to open a discussion about the project’s licensing. Currently, stpyvista is licensed under GPL v3, which has copyleft requirements that can create challenges for certain use cases, particularly in commercial or proprietary software contexts.

PyVista itself is licensed under MIT, and Streamlit is under Apache 2.0—having stpyvista under Apache 2.0 would align with its main dependencies

Would you consider relicensing stpyvista under the Apache 2.0 or MIT license?

I understand relicensing is entirely your decision as the project author, and there may be specific reasons you chose GPL v3.

I’d be happy to hear your thoughts on this.

Thank you for considering this request!
