FuzzyWuzzy is GPLv2 licensed which would force you to licence the whole project under GPLv2.
For this reason this Pullrequest replaces FuzzyWuzzy with rapidfuzz which is implementing the same algorithm but is based on an old version of fuzzywuzzy that was MIT Licensed.
Rapidfuzz is:

  • Mit licensed so it can be used with the license used by this project
  • Is faster than FuzzyWuzzy
