Logilab and I prefer to stick to the GPL mostly for philosophical reasons. If it stands to be a limitation to Pylint usage and development, we may change our mind. That being said, as pointed by Alexandre, there as been a lot of contributors to Pylint for the last 10 years, so even if we (Logilab) decided to change the license, it would take some time to do it properly by asking for approval from the main contributors (supposing they would agree on the licence change). -- Sylvain Thénault, LOGILAB, Paris (01.45.32.03.12) - Toulouse (05.62.17.16.42) Formations Python, Debian, Méth.
