As was written any times, Sixlabors. Fonts version 1.0 is only under Apache
license. The reason for version 2.0 was the split license. Unless user
explicitly adds version 2.0, the default dependency will use lowest
version, i.e. 1.0.
If you try to install version 2.0, you will get non-apache license
acceptance dialogue.
Its responsibility of a developer to ensure license compliance, that is his
job and not doing it his negligence.

accidently become liable paying their 80 to 520 monthly licensing cost or
maybe facing some other legal consequences. Because of SixLabors's 'split
open source' license.
I think one would not expect this when installing ClosedXml. Even though
some commercial organizations might be able to pay for these consequences.
This could serious compromise an unknowing developer's job position.
On the SixLabors home page I read the following:
*"If you are consuming any Six Labors libraries as a Direct Package
Dependency for usage in Closed Source software in the capacity of a
For-profit company/individual with more than 1M USD annual gross revenue
you must purchase a Six Labors Commercial License." source:
(https://sixlabors.com/pricing/ <https://sixlabors.com/pricing/>)*
On the license page of the Github page I read the following:
_Works in Source or Object form are licensed to You under the Apache
License, Version 2.0 if.
- You are consuming the Work in for use in software licensed under an
Open Source or Source Available license.
- You are consuming the Work as a Transitive Package Dependency.
- You are consuming the Work as a Direct Package Dependency in the
capacity of a For-profit company/individual with
less than 1M USD annual gross revenue.
- You are consuming the Work as a Direct Package Dependency in the
capacity of a Non-profit organization
or Registered Charity.
For all other scenarios, Works in Source or Object form are licensed to
You under the Six Labors Commercial License
