The license is very very open source according to the website: http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/license.htm I've made an optional PIL spkg (it's small -- 384kb) and posted it here: http://sagemath.org/packages/optional/ Just do sage -i pil-1.1.6 and it should install on most any system with a compiler in less than a minute. (Let me know if it doesn't!) I put in a trick so that it will even install if ones tk install isn't sufficient (there were problems on sage.math, for example). Try out the tutorial: http://www.pythonware.com/library/pil/handbook/introduction.htm You can work with png files in Sage, but not jpg, since we don't ship libjpg. I did try opening an image, and manipulating and saving the result and it worked fine. Depending on feedback in this thread, I think we should consider possibly including PIL standard in Sage. One could quickly make some interesting interacts using it...
