Ahh. It would be the license if I were to make the decision. Only because, if I were to use Python, performance must not be a big concern, so I would go for an alternative (albeit slower) library (which there isn't a shortage of) instead of paying for the non GPL license.

I think something else that might help is if you make it more prominent (if it's visible right now at all, since I can't find it) the message that tells people, at least, "contact me to arrange a different license", or at best, a pricing model.

Well now in 2022… in 2018 there was nothing else. It was (and still is) the only option on python 3.5 AFAIK.

Thanks for the advice, I guess I can put something about that.
