Hi!

I am wondering about the license of the "client" directory. According to the "LICENSE" file, it is licensed under the BSD 3-Clause License. However, the client imports the code from https://github.com/netbirdio/management-integrations. This code is licensed under the GNU GPL 3.0. According to the GPL terms, this means the client would be GPL 3.0 as well. Am I correct here?

Can you point me to the place where the client imports that code, other than test files (those are not compiled into the distributed files)?

You are right, I didn't realize these are test files only. Sorry for the false issue then.
