ds-test is licensed GPLv3

[guirl]

Based on my knowledge of open source licenses, the use of the ds-test (GPL 3 licensed) library in this project creates a license conflict with the MIT/Apache license strategy used by forge-std. Is there a similar library that could be included with a more permissive license?

I believe there exists permission for use of ds-test in forge-std. I have no confirmation of this.

Is there a similar library that could be included with a more permissive license?

We have discussed this in #139 and forge-std will continue to use ds-test.

If you still don’t want to use it (although it should be fine as said above), the latest version of forge-std allows you to swap out any Component. See Test.sol.

IANAL but my understanding of licensing is that ds-test itself is still licensed as GPL 3, and the MIT/Apache forge-std license applies to the new forge-std code only, not to ds-test. The ds-test folks are aware of foundry/this repo fwiw so there shouldn't be an issue 🙂
