OK, here is the situation. It turns out that BVLS was previously released under GPL v.2 to the R project. The authors are happy to have it available under that license. However, they also appear willing to consider LGPL and possibly BSD if that would be helpful. I would need to be able to tell them how it would be helpful. Could someone better versed in SciPy/licenses interactions help here? This is what I think. GPL code can be used in SciKits but not in SciPy proper. If so, is it desirable/important that this code be available in SciPy proper? Finally, one author added the following statement: "I would be happy to license it under anything that keeps attribution to Bob and me and that keeps the code intact." I do not really know what this means. The GPL itself makes no commitment to keep the code "intact", right? Can I address this concern in any way? Thank you, Alan Isaac
