Re: [Numpy-discussion] Numpy licenses
Travis wrote numpy and he can put any license he wants on that.
Really, he didn't take any lines of code from its predecessors? My understanding was that much borrowing occurred. This is good, and is the strength of OSS, but it does require attention to licensing for derived works. Travis, if I'm mistaken, please correct me. --jh--

Joe is basically right. I started from the Numeric code and then changed most of it at least a little bit :-), but there are still recognizable chunks from the old Numeric code base. Then, I borrowed mostly ideas from Numarray except for the _sortmodule.c which I pretty-much grabbed whole-cloth. So, I was always under the impression that I was modifying already produced code. The license should continue to be similar to what it was. -Travis
