[Installation]: LGPL license in dependencies #8030

Description

Your current environment

Since vLLM 0.5.5 there is a dependency on Librosa, which in turn depends on soxr. Soxr is LGPL licensed which is a big red flag for many corporations. I'm not a legal expert but I do understand that LGPL is more permissive than regular GPL or AGPL. However many large firms still consider it too risky and block any LGPL license by default and as a result I am now no longer able to install vLLM in my firm (Fortune 50 size).

I would kindly request to reconsider the use of Librosa.
