License of PyCogent - replacement of standard mathematical procedures
Hi,
when reading the copyright of python-cogent[1] and seeing that
the only problem is in two files
Files: cogent/maths/matrix_invert.c
cogent/maths/eigen.c (partly)
License:
Redistribution is ok as long with proper copyright notice.
It is free to use/modify/redistribute only for academia. Others
need to contact the authors.
I really wonder whether there should be no free replacement for
algorithms to invert a matrix and calculating eigen values (I have not
looked at the source but the file names seem to be speaking above. Does
anybody know a reasonable free math library which we might direct
upstream to to finally free this code which is quite interesting for
Debian Med?
Kind regards
Andreas.
