I don't know about that, but I would not be surprised if they want the Python license for all things that end up in the std lib. > 2. That f2py ships with numpy doesn't imply that f2py isn't GPL > (though it of course isn't GPL). True in the formal sense. The expanded version of my argument goes something like: the numpy and scipy devs are very careful about license related things and thus I know they wouldn't violate the GPL by shipping a combined GPL+BSD work under the BSD license. > Numpy's license is modified BSD which can be combined with GPL'd code. ...as long as the combined work is released as GPL... NumPy ships with f2py. In my mind, that makes NumPy a derived work. Thus if f2py were GPL, NumPy would be violating the GPL (if NumPy were still BSD).
