Hello, Some of the Sage developers are considering including Pyx (http://pyx.sourceforge.net/) in Sage (http://sagemath.org). One issue is that I think Pyx is currently licensed GPL v2 only. Unfortunately Sage will soon have to start including several new versions of GNU programs such as GMP, GNUTLs, GSL, etc., and these are all licensed under "GPL v3 or greater". Also PolyBoRi (http://polybori.sourceforge.net/) will soon be in Sage, and it is also "GPL v3" licensed. Unfortunately, it is a copyright violation to combine GPL v2 and GPL v3 software together and redistribute it, since the FSF decided to make GPL v3 be GPL v2 incompatible. So, I'm curious whether the Pyx team has any plans to change their license to "GPL v2 or v3" or to "GPL v2 or greater"?
This will help us in deciding whether including Pyx in Sage is an option for us. Thanks! And thanks again for a great Python library. -- William -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://sage.scipy.org/sage/ and http://modular.math.washington.edu/sage/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
