The question of licenses came up recently in the thread "constrained optimization", and the answers
Travis Oliphant:
Libraries in SciPy need an unrestrictive open source license (something like the Python license itself or the BSD license)
Eric Jones:
free for academic/commercial, no restrictions that additions must be contributed back to package
Here is a link to the license itself:
http://scipy.net/cgi- bin/viewcvsx.cgi/*checkout*/scipy/LICENSE.txt?rev=1.2

sorry to need further explanation... so in addition to the Python and BSD licenses, Artisic (Perl) would be ok as well, but GPL would not, right? how about Mozilla (MPL 1.1): http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mozilla1.1.php I'm wondering specifically about sections 3.1-3.3 and 3.7 thanks... -John Turner LANL / CCS-2
