CellProfiler BSD license announcement
-------------------------------------
::
From: Vebjorn Ljosa
To: scikits-image@googlegroups.com
Date: June 3, 2010
We have changed the license of some parts of CellProfiler from GNU GPL
to BSD. It has previously been proposed [1] that some of the image
processing code in CellProfiler be merged into SciPy, and the license
change makes this possible.
The CellProfiler SVN repository is at
https://svn.broadinstitute.org/CellProfiler/trunk/CellProfiler/. The
file LICENSE [2] contains a list of BSD-licensed subdirectories as
well as other license details. The rest of CellProfiler continues to
be licensed under the GNU GPL. The BSD-licensed subdirectories are:
* CellProfiler/cpmath [3]: image processing algorithms
* CellProfiler/utilities [4]: contains a Java bridge, making it
possible to call Java functions from Python
* bioformats [5]: wrapper that uses the Java bridge to have
Bioformats [6] read or write an image file
Good luck with the upcoming scikits.image sprint. I don't think
anyone from the CellProfiler team will be able to take part in the
sprint this time, but don't hesitate to ask on the
cellprofiler-dev@broadinstitute.org mailing list.
Thanks,
Vebjorn
