> You don't vendor anything. You only name it as dependency i'm not? how are you using the term "software vendoring" specifically? I am packaging with pyinstaller and distributing as an app.

As a US based developer, would I have the option to ban people in the EU from using my software? It's the only way I would be able to keep distributing. Edit: I think I misunderstood. This seems to only apply to OSS non profits. Edit 2

the compiled app is meant for people to install and use with their GPU and runs on as low as a GTX 1080. I haven't tested against CPU only builds. You can take a look at the source code and see if it would be useful to you.
