Well, as it says on the foss.eepatents.com site, "If you want to use this software under different terms ... feel free to contact me about it. Maybe we can work something out, maybe not." :-)

I'm interested in the idea of some of the work getting adapted for IPython (a great project!), even if the adaptation winds up being licensed differently. Also, I have already done quite a bit of task farming in another as-yet-private package of mine, "AsynCluster" (is what it sounds like), which I'm planning to incorporate into Twisted-Goodies. Collaborating with someone capable like yourself on this would be great for both of us, I would think. So, let's get together on this off-list soon!

Well, from our side, we'd certainly be very interested in collaborating with you. Both Brian and I are developing ipython's distributed computing capabilities because we need them in our everyday work, and we'd be very happy to have more collaborators. Brian knows a lot more about Twisted than I do so I'll defer detail comments on your code to him, but as a general statement, we'd be happy to have you on board. Since this discussion may drift away from Twisted specifics and I don't want to impose off-topic chat on this list, we'd be happy to continue talking about the more ipython-specific questions on the ipython lists (this is probably a -dev topic): http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/ipython-dev http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/ipython-user If you feel you'd rather discuss licensing specifics off-list first, then by all means go ahead (if you've already talked to Brian, I'll catch up on the details directly from him, don't worry). Thanks for your offer! Best, f
