Stephen,<div>the code Mathieu is referring to is a clone of PythonQt (<a href="https://github.com/commontk/PythonQt">https://github.com/commontk/PythonQt</a>), not in CTK(<a href="https://github.com/commontk/CTK">https://github.com/commontk/CTK</a>) itself. However, and I hope it's not an issue, the clone is hosted by the CommonTK github community.<div>
For information, all the code in CTK is Apache(2), not BSD (almost the same). <br>Julien.</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 10, 2011 at 10:08 AM, Stephen Aylward <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stephen.aylward@kitware.com">stephen.aylward@kitware.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
So - I'm not fully following the thread....is this code in CTK? If<br>
so, is it available under a BSD license?<br>
<br>
If it is not in CTK, then we can instruct people on how to download<br>
and use it to build CTK - and if it is LGPL, we can even use<br>
superbuild if we also include instructions on how to manually do it in<br>
the documentation.<br>
<br>
However, if it is in CTK's git repo, then it must be a BSD license.<br>
This was determined from the start of CTK. Regardless of how it is<br>
used in CTK, all code in CTK must be BSD, or confusion ensues for<br>
future users...and companies will simply walk away from CTK if they<br>
know it contains any LGPL code - lawyers don't care about nuances of<br>
how it is used, they simply will deny their company's ability to use<br>
it.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Stephen<br>
