[scikit-learn] License for a package built on top of scikit-learn

[Andreas Mueller]

Hi Iacopo.

Yes, you can do either (in my understanding).
If you just import sklearn there's really nothing you need to worry about.

If you distribute sklearn, you should also distribute the BSD license 
file with it and make
it clear that that's the license that applies to that part of the code.

Cheers,

Andy
