MS Express doesn't work under Wine last time I checked by the way. However, the issue is more than just one license. There's a large number of packages that depend on numpy and provide binaries. If they can't make those compatible with numpy ones, that's a problem. Users will first install numpy 64-bit, and then later find out that part of the scientific Python stack isn't available to them anymore. > > But, I would rather have official builds of NumPy for all platforms with a > compiler paid for by a NumPy-sponsor than not have them. > I would only want to have those if I can have the whole stack. If that's possible, then (if Christoph is okay with it) why not upload Christoph's binaries also to SF and call them "official" then? I don't see the point in duplicating his efforts.
