choosealicense.com will help you find a common license that suits your needs.
Important considerations include:

• Whether you require people distributing derivative works to also require others to distribute their derivative works in the same way.

• Whether the content you are licensing is source code, and if it is, whether you want to require that derivatives of your work to share the source code

I think the MIT license will be good enough for our project in two ways:
First the MIT license is business friendly. When our python package is used in a commercial setting, the MIT License allows businesses to incorporate it into their proprietary products without the need to disclose proprietary code, making it convenient and handy to commercial users.
Besides, there's no liability. The MIT license includes a disclaimer of warranty, indicating that our authors are not liable for any issues that arise from using the software. This helps protect developers from legal issues.

I agree with @QuanhuaHuang-ubc. MIT license is a good way to encourage collaboration and contributions too. It is permissive, meaning you can freely use, modify, and distribute the code, even for commercial purposes. By using an open and permissive license, the MIT License encourages others to contribute to your project. It lowers the barriers for others to use and build upon your package, which can lead to faster development and improvements!

Okay. I also agree! The MIT license keeps things flexible. It is short, simple, and permissive. A solid choice for our project!

Yes, I’m on board with this too! The MIT license offers the right balance of flexibility and protection. Its wide adoption by many successful open-source projects makes it ideal for encouraging contributions, while the permissiveness ensures ease of integration for commercial use. Plus, the simplicity of the license keeps things clear and manageable for us as developers.
