I released (unpublished now) an Apache-2.0 library that provides a similar solution to another MIT licensed library. This ended up gaining some information & the other's perspective on it, because of HN users (Thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22473263) mostly about the naming as well as the usage of the MIT licensed library.<p>With this thread, I'm trying to understand the restrictions and correct my knowledge. I'm a python developer, so, the examples used in the below content are Python libraries.<p>> 1. GoogleMaps, an Apache-2.0 licensed python library, from Google, uses an open-sourced python library, requests, to communicate with the endpoint. What are the reserved rights of 'requests' library author & contributors over the GoogleMaps services<p>> 2. tabula-py, an MIT licensed library uses another MIT licensed, pandas, to format the output. What are the reserved rights of 'pandas' library author & contributors over tabula-py services<p>> 3. TabulaPro, an Apache-2.0 licensed python library, uses an MIT licensed library, tabula-py. What are the reserved rights of 'tabula-py' or 'tabula' library author & contributors over tabulaPro services<p>TIA
