Sorry for spamming the list but I was wondering whether you know about mahotas: http://luispedro.org/software/mahotas

This ties in with my previous e-mail. Because of its GPL license, Mahotas would be allowed to use code from scikits.image, but not the other way around. That said, Luis (the author of Mahotas) has kindly contributed back two patches to scikits.image in the past.

It seems to be a project with similar goals as scikits.image. There are some very useful algorithms in there and I was wondering in how far people are replicating these in scikits.image.

We can always ask Luis whether he would relicense certain portions of his code, although I think he is well informed about the different licenses and probably had his reasons for choosing the GPL. Regards Stéfan
