Just out of curiosity, where does this requirement come from? Matplotlib (like Python itself) is offered under a license that basically says "here's the source code. Do whatever you want with it". Any policy that prevented you from using Matplotlib would prevent you from using Python too. > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
