If that is true, is Enthought violating the GPL? The EPD license at
http://www.enthought.com/products/epdlicense.php
seems to me to be GPL incompatible, since I think the GPL does not
allow
one to so restrict redistribution of binaries of GPL'd software. In
particular,
were EPD to include GPL'd code, I think Enthought would be in
violation of
section 6e of the GPL. http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html
I'm just a curious bystander asking a question; I'm not making any
claims or accusations!
