Description

FYI.

The WareHouse/BookBreeze example included with ChatDev relies on ebooklib, https://github.com/aerkalov/ebooklib, with is AGPL licensed.

I recommend you split the WareHouse/BookBreeze example into it's own AGPL licensed repo (or replace the current bookbreeze example with one that doesn't rely on an AGPL library).

At a minimum, I think the LICENSE should include a warning that the BookBreeze example is licensed differently (AGPL) from the rest of ChatDev (Apache 2).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the LICENSE and the WareHouse/BookBreeze example's use of the ebooklib dependency. Confirm how the example's AGPL licensing relates to ChatDev's Apache 2 license; done when the licensing treatment and any required warning or separation are documented.
