[Matplotlib-users] Licence Question

2010-05-17 Thread Craig Lyndon
Hi All,

Im new to matplotlib, and I love it, but I have a question about the
Licence agreement.
I am wanting to develop a commercial closed source application for my
company using python and matplotlib.

I have tried reading the Licence agreement, but have trouble understanding it.
Could someone please tell me under what conditions I can use
matplotlib in a closed source application?

Kind Regards,
Craig

The license itself is the ultimate reference, but in a nutshell, you
are free to use matplotlib in a commercial, closed source application.
 The only clause that could potentially require action from you is
that if you *modify* matplotlib and want to distribute it for others,
you need to summarize  the changes you made (clause 3).

If you end up making a lot of money, remember us on the donations page :-)
