Description
I think `netcdf4` is inflected with GPL code. I'm wondering if it could be made an optional dependency of `intake-xarray`, or moved into a separate `intake-netcdf4` package.
Although [conda-forge reports that netcdf4 has an MIT liencse](https://github.com/conda-forge/netcdf4-feedstock/blob/master/recipe/meta.yaml#L49), netcdf4 has a [hard dependency on `cftime`](https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf4-python/blob/master/setup.py#L7) which has a [GPL license](https://github.com/Unidata/cftime/blob/master/COPYING#L44).
