Thank you Kirr! For everything that you did for sympy, your time, your energy. And I especially appreciate that you contributed anyway, even if you always believed we should use a different license. I am sure all of us has learnt a lot from you, definitely I did --- and I am really really glad I had a chance to work with you for more than a year. As to the license discussion, I am glad all of us stated clearly what we want and fought for what each of us believe is right. And that's how it should be. As I suggested in my other email, for those who prefer a different license: feel free to use any license you want for your own code or anything you do with sympy. In the long term, sympy should be just the symbolic engine, that we all need, but your own program can use any license -- and I encourage you to use such a license, that you find the best. > Also I believe that life is a wonderful travel, and you never know, > because it is full of changes some of which are just impossible to > predict.
