I am sitting in front of Mariano at PyCon. He is the authors. He said he will change it to LGPL. Anyway, having a GPL file into contrib does not change web2py to be GPL because the file is not linked and not required by web2py to run. This is a debatable issue. Since I like to avoid ambiguities

Good catch. I assume that is an error, as the project as a whole says it's licensed under LGPL: http://code.google.com/p/pyfpdf/. Perhaps the license was changed at some point but the change wasn't made to this file. Anthony On Sunday, March 11, 2012 12:07:47 PM UTC-4, Detectedstealth wrote: >
