the implementation that reads these files (scipy/io/idl.py) contains following statement: # This code was developed by with permission from ITT Visual Information # Systems. IDL(r) is a registered trademark of ITT Visual Information Systems, # Inc. for their Interactive Data Language software. I'll check with upstream if they have more detailed documentation on the extent of the permission. _______________________________________________ Python-modules-team mailing list Python-modules-team@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/python-modules-team
