Folks asked me about #chardet #LGPL situation. @corbet (on @lwn) published https://lwn.net/Articles/1061534/ it; everyone should read that.
Afterwards, take a 👀 at my comment on chardet's issue tracker:
https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/355#issuecomment-4145369025
TL;DR: I'm leading an effort at @conservancy to analyze this situation. The results will be published. It will take a long time — for good reason. Meanwhile, anyone using chardet commercially should call their lawyer.
