As much as I know, the python's community is bound to the BSD style licence. I was hoping that the code would be included in scipy, after I would attach the required declaration (I do not know which), and maybe with some adjustment to the coding style.
In short, for the next few days I am waiting for comments and responses that would enable me to donate the code to an existing project (scipy? pyvision?). Meanwhile I'll improve the co a bit. If you can't wait, and not willing to use the code without a licence statement, I'll repost the code with the scipy's licence declaration.
I had a little trouble understanding what you meant above. So just to be clear... If you offer the code now under a BSD license, that will be acceptable to SciPy. Additionally, I cannot imagine a project (including GPL projects) who would find the BSD license a problem. That is one of the great things about the BSD and MIT licenses! Also, just to be clear, if you release as BSD and later wish to also release your code under another license, you can do so. Finally, anyone would be foolish to use the code without your permission, and once you give your permission your are licensing the code, so you may as well be clear from the start. IANAL, Alan Isaac
