Yes, it disqualifies it. > Would GPL 2+ be required? Yes, that would be required. I think people will have some issues with including an spkg that replicates functionality available probably in code already in Sage, with sufficient work. Every single spkg that is added to sage increases the maintenance work of Sage a lot. Removing spkg's later is very hard. -- William -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
