Previously LGPL, now re-licensed as closed-source/commercial. Previous code taken down.

Commercial users pay $99/year, free for personal use but each user has to make a free account after a trial period.

They injected some binary code to make a code object (and in doing so inject some obfuscation).. if someone wants to violate the new license, they can easily work around it via installing through pip, commenting out that license check... Not that I endorse library license violations.

I put up packages on pypi with the last LGPL code versions for my own usage. I don't plan on updating them much, but they work for me.
