Re: [Distutils] license for setuptools

Yes, it's called "the apache license" - and I'm pretty sure setuptools rejected requiring that for good reason :-). CLAs are a much bigger issue and are generally quite controversial. Having one is nice if you need to do some kind of legal action but they are also a big impediment to

Might be wandering away from simply tacking on a license, but some related legalese: Is there some canned contributor license agreement (CLA) that could also be applied to make clear that contributors must license their contributions to the project(s) in kind? Python has it's own (

Re: [Distutils] license for setuptools

Thanks for that Geoffrey. There's a PR to add it as Jason decided to accept it. I think we can all relax now. Okay? On Fri, Aug 12, 2016 at 8:00 AM, Geoffrey Spear wrote: > It seems a bit silly to claim that a license that contains the sentence "The > above copyright notice

Re: [Distutils] license for setuptools

It seems a bit silly to claim that a license that contains the sentence "The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software" shouldn't have a copy included with the software it applies to since it literally says you need

Re: [Distutils] license for setuptools

Hi Claude, There was a recent discussion of the lack of a license file in setuptools here: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/612 and another important discussion here: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/132. This is probably the most relevant quotable bit from those two issues,

Re: [Distutils] license for setuptools

The OP specifically asked about setuptools, which is on-topic. In large corporate environments it is standard to have a process that evaluates every single dependency, so setuptools does end up in the bucket with matplotlib since you need it to install. > On Aug 11, 2016, at 8:36 PM, Noah

Re: [Distutils] license for setuptools

I think the question was really about setuptools, which does not have a license file in its repository: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools On Thu, Aug 11, 2016 at 8:36 PM, Noah Kantrowitz wrote: > Hi there, this list is for the discussion of Python's core packaging tools >

Re: [Distutils] license for setuptools

Hi there, this list is for the discussion of Python's core packaging tools like distutils. We have no control over the packages made or distributed with them. You would have to contact the matplotlib authors, not us. --Noah > On Aug 12, 2016, at 7:51 AM, Marinier, Claude

[Distutils] license for setuptools

Good afternoon (well it's afternoon here in the EDT zone), I am in the process of requesting the installation of Python 3 with matplotlib. The company needs to approve licenses but I cannot find the license for setuptools. The description here says it
