I'm not so sure it has to be GPL. I think it has to be GPL compatible. See this post for example: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2003-November/237761.html There is a link to an email by RMS regarding this in the above. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2001-December/msg00034.html This is another reason why the GPL can get so confusing. I really don't know what the definitive answer is and it looks like all answers are possible depending on who you talk to. cheers, prabhu --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-devel-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
