BeeWare is a project that tries to make Python programming be available for all modern platforms and devices. (This is achieved in various way, for Android e.g. by cross-compiling Python bytecode to Java bytecode.)

I'd like to add a maps widget to their set of widgets, but I've been told this project's GPL license doesn't allow inclusion into their library. See beeware/toga#727.

Is there any way to solve this problem? If everything else fails, would it be possible to re-license the project with LGPL? (I'm not a big fan of weakening the GPL, but it would be sad to not have a maps widget available on GNU/Linux.)

Hello,
mapness is an alternative Gtk+ mapping widget that is under the LGPL.
