Hi,
Planning to use the library
licensed under GNU Library General Public License v2
we are not doing any modifications in the source code of the library
GPL, or our application can be made proprietary
can you please more insights into this...

Thanks&Regards

When creating a new project you should probably just use: https://github.com/maxbachmann/RapidFuzz which is a MIT licensed and faster re-implementation of fuzzywuzzy

Given it is GPL licensed you could run into license issues. Since there is a more open licensed version you can just save yourself this hassle. If you still really want to use fuzzywuzzy for some reason it is probably best to talk to a lawyer.
