Hi Cam, Kyo and I originally found it in the matplotlib-users mailing list archive. Yannick posted that code after someone asked how a Taylor Diagram could be made using matplotlib. It was more or less a straight up copy/paste. Beyond that I don't think there are any special license restrictions for implementing it in our own code.
