Description

Using GPL license means any sofware using this must also be licensed under GPL. For a dialog library seems a bit too much. I would suggest changing the license to LGPL (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.en.html). It would keep it open source, ensure changes must be available but won't make any extra restrictions on the license of the sofware using it.

Research direction

Review the repository's current GPL licensing files and project policy, then assess the LGPL-3.0 proposal and its implications for users of the dialog library. This is done when the maintainers agree on the license change and all repository license references consistently reflect the decision.
