hi all

i was checking the mailing list archives and i discovered this
http://groups.google.com/group/pyglet-users/browse_thread/thread/57f911bdd0162291/f39cb1e4ca0d81cd?lnk=gst&q=primitives#f39cb1e4ca0d81cd

I thought this is really nice, someone has done what i am looking for
and has shared it with the community. But while checking the source code
i realised the primitives.py module code is mostly taken from a PyOpenGL
based library developed by myself under LGPL license. However there is
no credit to us... more over now it is copyrighted by someone else...
line 5 of the library says
"copyright 2007 by Flavio Codeco Coelho"

We have been working on this since 2005 or so
This is the library's page and Pypi page
http://www.ixi-audio.net/mirra
http://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=mirra&submit=search

Here are the old versions, first public release there dated on 
11-May-2006 but i believe it is in Pypi since December 2005

If anyone is interested I can describe in detail where code used in the 
primitives.py module have been copied from within our library. Changes 
made (apart from copy-paste) are to adapt to pyglet's ctype array style 
where needed, adding the Group class and finally creating the tests 
lines at the bottom of the module.

Flavio! looking at your profile I am sure that you have experience and
understanding of open source licenses. The LGPL license requires you to
maintain the copyright of the original code and give credit to the
authors of it. Could you please explain yourself and add copyright 
attribution where appropriate?.

Finally, I don't think that's the way to go with pyglet, in my
opinion. (still new to pyglet though). A primitive module for pyglet
would need something more light and thin, probably based on vertex lists
and batch. But that is perhaps an interesting discussion for another thread.
