I have integrated meschach into grass for testing purposes and, after
some very basic testing, it works nicely.
But im unsure if the licence of meschach is compatible with the GPL? Can
somebody please verify this? Im not an expert in licensing.
This seems to be the relevant part:
"The source code is available to be perused, used and passed on without
cost, while ensuring that the quality of the software is not compromised."
There is no mention of modification, and the second half of the sentence
("while ensuring that the quality of the software is not compromised")
sounds quite suspicious to me. So, without claiming any expert knowledge
either, I would be sceptical.
Where did you find that?
http://www.netlib.org/c/meschach/readme
It appears to contradict:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/m/meschach/current/copyright
It definitely does. I would tend to trust Debian more than the above...
