I would argue "yes, it does apply to pythonmac.org, too." scipy is a BSD-licensed package. Putting GPLed components into the binaries which are distributed at "standard" locations like our website, PyPI, or pythonmac.org confuses that picture. I would be mollified if the download link had an explanation attached, but unfortunately, pythonmac.org/packages does not have any space for that. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
