CeCILL license is really close to Gnu/GPL, with same goals, but is adapated to french laws (they added some explicit art., missing in the Gnu/GPL, which makes it useless in france). It is a "protective" license, like Gnu/GPL. (note that there is another CeCILL license, the CeCILL-B, which is a BSD-like license). -- Frédéric http://www.gbiloba.org _______________________________________________ Image-SIG maillist - Image-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
