As a friend of mine said,

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/license.html

"This term is moderately odious:"

3. In the event Licensee prepares a derivative work that is based on or
incorporates matplotlib 0.98.1 or any part thereof, and wants to
make the derivative work available to others as provided herein, then
Licensee hereby agrees to include in any such work a brief summary of
the changes made to matplotlib 0.98.1.

but in any case, Damien, thanks a lot, because you have made me
discover exactly what I was
looking for (or very close to, at least). Not only the license but in
general matplotlib seems to match
my requirements very well. I was really looking forward to getting
something like supermongo/ gnuplot
but more... user-friendly , more powerful and... with a nicer license.

I see also by the way that you are the maintainer, so again thanks for
porting it to OpenBSD!

Cheers,

Pau
