I am sitting in front of Mariano at PyCon. He is the authors. He said he will change it to LGPL.
Anyway, having a GPL file into contrib does not change web2py to be GPL because the file is not linked and not required by web2py to run. This is a debatable issue. Since I like to avoid ambiguities I require all files in contrib be MIT, BSD or LGPL or Apache. massimo On Sunday, 11 March 2012 11:27:28 UTC-5, Anthony wrote: > > Good catch.
