I am trying to update the ArloView plugin.  Lots of changes required due to authentication for the cameras.  There are a number of new modules required.

I need some direction on the license requirements for 2 in particular:
  1. https://github.com/etingof/pyasn1
  2. https://github.com/etingof/pyasn1-modules
Same author, license indicates it is free and available to redistribute, however, I don't see any standard license (see below).  Is this acceptable for Kodi?

If the feature you need is not in pycryptodome, you could consider https://github.com/wbond/asn1crypto

Thanks for the info, however
  • a module that I am leveraging (arlo) requires these sub-modules.  I can't force the owner of Arlo to rewrite his code.
  • the module you recommended doesn't have a license, every kodi module needs a license.
@JavaWiz not sure what the issue is both your GitHub links show the source is licensed under the BSD 2-Clause "Simplified" License

Oh! Right you are, I only looked at the raw text, didn't see the disclaimer above.  Thanks Martin.
