I did not mean to start a conda vs. wheel discussion, but I feel the need to correct you on conda: it is absolutely end-to-end FLOSS (BSD, 3-clause)
https://github.com/conda/conda/blob/master/LICENSE.txt https://github.com/conda/conda-build/blob/master/LICENSE.txt Repositories can be created by simply creating an index (`conda index` command) which can be served by any http server - you need not depend on Continuum as a central repository any more than you depend on PyPI as a central repository. If licensing concerns are preventing you from using conda, I hope you'll reconsider. Otherwise, many people still prefer wheels/pip/virtualenv. That's fine. I don't mean to criticize that. To each, their own. I hope that conda-forge might provide a useful example for improving wheel building capabilities.
