IPython with Cython support on Android
Hi, We have developped an android app which makes it possible to use the IPython shell through Android. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appsopensource.labpy https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appsopensource.labpypremiu... We decided then to add the Cython extension to speed up script execution through the notebook for instance. Our app bundle is covered by the Gnu GPL v3 licence. Cython is covered by the Apache Licence version 2.0 which is compatible with the Gnu GPL v3 licence. Our question concerns the Pyrex licence on which Cython is based. It is on OSI approved licence.
From your point of view, is the Pyrex licence GPL v3 compatible ?
Thanks for your help. Apps Embedded team.

Can you provide a link or copy of precisely what you mean by "the Pyrex licence on which Cython is based"? 7 years ago, when I forked Pyrex to create SageX, which I renamed "Cython" a little later, I think I remember the official Pyrex license being I think "do anything you want with this". That would be the relevant license for this question, not the license Pyrex might have today. That said, my memory of what happened with licensing 7 years ago is admittedly hazy. William

Yep: https://github.com/cython/cython/blob/master/COPYING.txt contains Greg's exact wording regarding Pyrex licensing.
Hi, We will add the Pyrex copyright in our about menu of the LabPy Console app : "... The original Pyrex code as of 2006-04 is licensed under the following license: "Copyright stuff: Pyrex is free of restrictions. You may use, redistribute, modify and distribute modified versions." ..." Best regards. Apps Embedded team. 2015-01-28 9:17 GMT+01:00 Robert Bradshaw <robertwb@gmail.com>:

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. (I don't understand why it requests the right to track where I am, though, so I didn't try it out.) Stefan
Hi, The Free app has an advertising banner based on the Mobfox library. When integrating this library, it is written in their integration guide to add this permission. If you want to get rid of this permission, try the premium version. Since there is no advertising banner in this version, this permission is useless and thus has been removed. Best regards.

So the price of using a "free" app is getting subjected to advertising *and* being spied upon? Seems a tad obnoxious to me. -- Greg
Hi, We are going to suppress the advertising banner in the Free version. Have a look to the next free coming version. No banner any more and no more localisation permission needed. Finding a business model for free software is not that easy. But we try improving our concept. Best regards. Apps Embedded team. 2015-02-01 22:41 GMT+01:00 Greg Ewing <greg.ewing@canterbury.ac.nz>:
