I noticed a potential licensing issue Home Assistant may have when it comes to relying only on an external package source host like pypi and complying with a plugin takedown request.
If home-assistant receives a GPL source code request(for example due to many of the python libraries in the home-assistant docker images being GPL licensed) wouldn’t the source code to all library dependencies(including the source for historical dependencies like any plugin taken down after a release) need to be provided for 3 years(due to the combined home-assistant application effectively falling under GPL requirements) from the date of last distribution of the home-assistant docker image?
