Last time I used it, Cell Profiler required a Matlab runtime which included not only the proprietary Matlab libraries, but also an entire Linux distribution including the C library and runtime linker, as well as a complete copy of Java and several fonts! Awful! Is this version of Cell Profiler dependent in any way upon Matlab, even to generate the code indirectly? The reason I ask is that the preferred form for modification may require proprietary tools to generate a functional program, even if the final program runs using only free software. If it's 100% python, that's great, but due to its past, and the fact that its heavy image processing most likely requires the use of non-python code for speed, I just wanted to check exactly how free it is nowadays.
