Certainly, but that's not in the cards. All the 'scipy ecosytem' (python, numpy, scipy, matplotlib, ipython, pandas, statsmodels, scikit-learn, scikits-image, pytables, networkx, cython, etc) is BSD licensed and there's no intention of changing that. Besides at this point even if I wanted (which I don't) to change it I couldn't, as there are by now way too many ipython contributors who made their contributions to the project as BSD. It would be likely impossible to get them to agree to a GPL relicensing. Note that I'm not *pushing* for you guys to change anything, I just gave my '+1' to William's comment, in light of the recent upswing in collaboration we've had with Jason G. Obviously it's perfectly fine if Sagenb remains GPL, and it will always be able to continue using ipython, numpy, etc as it always has. As I said, I just pinged because William brought it up.
