You can use any GPL licensed library, as long as it is optional, i.e. as long as CSymPy works without it as well. That way we are not derivative work and can use BSD-style license for CSymPy. Libraries, that we hard depend on, i.e. CSymPy does not work without them (like GMP), must be BSD-style or LGPL. I would recommend to use any good library out there if it is useful. If it's GPL licensed, then it needs to be optional. Ondrej -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy" group.
