The authors have agreed to release BVLS as BSD to match the SciPy license. (Email attached as documentation.) Cheers, Alan Isaac I've heard from Bob. We are happy to release the code under BSD. Thanks again for your interest! Best wishes, Philip On Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 12:28 PM, Alan G Isaac <aisaac@american.edu> wrote:

Both the GPL and BSD licenses require attribution, but both also allow licensees to distribute modified code. So this part does not change relative to the GPL.
But we need to wait for Bob to reply if you want something less restrictive than GPL v2.
OK. Yes, I'd like the code to have the potential for being distributed with SciPy proper, which would mean a BSD license (to match the SciPy license <URL:http://www.scipy.org/FAQ#head-22f0cc18e232f57520678cd55ef7e904113fa304>). Thanks for your willingness to consider a less restrictive license!
Cheers, Alan
