The SF site claims the following for Numeric/Numpy: License : OSI-Approved Open Source <http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=14>, GNU General Public License (GPL) <http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=15> Can this be changed to reflect LICENSE.TXT? Numpy (and the older Numeric-*) has never been GPL'd, correct? Also, a previous thread mentioned that the licensing terms for f2py will be changed from LGPL. In the svn trunk, some of its documentation still refers to LGPL, particularly f2py2e.py. Will this be changed before the next release? Thanks! Jeff
Numeric and numpy are not related from a licensing point of view. Numeric was released under an LLNL-written open source license. Travis wrote numpy and he can put any license he wants on that. On 02 Mar 2006 09:03:12 -0800, Jeffery D. Collins < jcollins_boulder@earthlink.net> wrote:

It's possible that there used to be some code checked into the repository that was GPLed. It was certainly never a part of Numeric, though. What worries me more is that someone thought Numeric et al. belong to the Multi-User Dungeons topic. I would like to stress, though, that Sourceforge is *not* the place for information on the new NumPy. The only remaining use for it is the mailing list and downloads, and I hope that we can start using PyPI instead for placing our distributions.
Also, a previous thread mentioned that the licensing terms for f2py will be changed from LGPL. In the svn trunk, some of its documentation still refers to LGPL, particularly f2py2e.py. Will this be changed before the next release?
