DSMR Slimme Meter integration relies on non-Open Source Python module

[EdwardBetts]

The DSMR Slimme Meter integration employs the dsmr-parser module, which in turn depends on dlms-cosem. The latter is distributed under the Business Source License 1.1, a license not recognized as open source. Consequently, this integration should be suspended until the proprietary component can be substituted with an open-source alternative.

At the moment it does not. It depends on dlms_cosem== 21.3.2 which is MIT licensed. But might be hard to track if it was upgraded.

Open upstream issue: ndokter/dsmr_parser#164

[elupus]

We should add a constraint on which version of dlms that can be used in HA.

[EdwardBetts]

Sorry, my mistake. I didn't spot the dependency was versioned. We can probably close this bug.

[elupus]

The version is pinned before the incompatible license. And we catch it if it where to be upgraded, so closing.
