Hi, All,
I just went to install matplotlib version 2.0.0, and it has a dependency called 
"freetype". This software appears to be licensed under GPL3.  My reading of 
that latter license is that, if someone wanted to distribute a compiled version 
of a program requiring matplotlib, that entire program would fall under the 
GPL3 license.  I'm sure that would be a non-starter for many, many projects.

Does anyone have any takes on this?

Chad
