pygame is also LGPL... as are a number of other libraries. (pyqt is GPL btw). LGPL basically means you can link to the library source, but if you make changes to the library you should give them back. Users should also be able to change the library if they want... either through source or relinking. That's the spirit of the LGPL in two sentences. _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list [email protected] http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
