For our purposes, it has the same effect, though. As a project policy, we only want to put out official binaries that can be used in both proprietary and GPLed projects. Since proprietary licenses and GPL licenses are mutually incompatible, we cannot use components that are either proprietary or GPLed in our official binaries. -- Robert Kern _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
