Sorry, I didn't realize the changed license controversies are so big.
The referenced LWN article from March 5, 2026 discusses the change from
LGPL to the permissive MIT license. After that on March 22, 2026 the
license was changed again from MIT to 0BSD. Probably that doesn't change
the situation much considering that 0BSD is also very permissive.

License-Update: Change 7.x license from MIT to 0BSD
In addition to what Yoann said, why did you write MIT? The previous
license was clearly LGPL.
I took it from the latest git commit message related to the LICENSE file
of chardet:
https://github.com/chardet/chardet/commit/64eac3b1824913a001ce255f766a54d423fed5c6
What prompted you to work on this update and add ptests for it?
The existences of tests that import pytest in the newer versions.
Best regards, Leon
Alex
