This looks like a great effort and I am looking forward to trying it out.

I am a bit confused by the choice of the LGPL 3.0 license. It requires one to dynamically link the library to avoid GPL's virality, but in a language like Go that statically links everything, it becomes impossible to satisfy the requirements of the license, unless we ignore what it says and focus just on its spirit. I see that was discussed previously by the community in posts such as these [1][2][3]

I am assuming that bgentry and brandur have strong thoughts on the topic since they avoided the default Go license choice of BSD/MIT, so I'd love to hear more.

Hi bojanz, to be honest we were not well informed enough on the licensing nuances. I appreciate you sharing these links, please tune into this GitHub issue where we'll give updates soon and make sure any ambiguity is resolved. https://github.com/riverqueue/river/issues/47
