We have changed the license of some parts of CellProfiler from GNU GPL to BSD. It has previously been proposed [1] that some of the image processing code in CellProfiler be merged into SciPy, and the license change makes this possible. The CellProfiler SVN repository is at https://svn.broadinstitute.org/CellProfiler/trunk/CellProfiler/. The file LICENSE [2] contains a list of BSD-licensed subdirectories as well as other license details. The rest of CellProfiler continues to be licensed under the GNU GPL. The BSD-licensed subdirectories are: * CellProfiler/cpmath [3]: image processing algorithms * CellProfiler/utilities [4]: contains a Java bridge, making it possible to call Java functions from Python * bioformats [5]: wrapper that uses the Java bridge to have Bioformats [6] read or write an image file Good luck with the upcoming scikits.image sprint. I don't think anyone from the CellProfiler team will be able to take part in the sprint this time, but don't hesitate to ask on the cellprofiler-dev@broadinstitute.org mailing list.
