License incompatibility caused by GPL-licensed dependency `pylint`

Hello,

We are a group of researchers developing tools to monitor and remediate open-source license incompatibilities in the PyPI ecosystem.

We find that your pylint-gitlab package has a GPL-2.0-or-later licensed dependency pylint. This could be problematic because GPL-licensed software requires any of its derivative work to be also licensed under GPL, but pylint-gitlab is licensed under MIT.

To remove this license incompatibility, the following possible remediations may be considered:

• Relicense pylint-gitlab under GPL-3.0
• Migrate pylint to flake8
• Remove pylint

Note that the above remediations are generated by an automated tool which is still under test, may be incorrect, and does not represent legal advice.

We welcome any suggestions and feedback! Thank you.
