Re: [Matplotlib-users] pick event for images

Hi Daniele,

First off, the FSF uses and endorses a number of non GPL licenses.  They
reccomend the Apache license over MIT-style licenses for permissive cases
due to patent issues, but they don't require it.  In fact, even the GNU
project has several X11 (the FSF's name for the MIT license) licensed
projects (e.g. Off the top of my head, I know ncurses is both an official
GNU project and is X11-licensed.).

However, I'm glad you brought this up.  I haven't actually filled out a
copyright transfer form to the FSF.  I intended to at one point, but never
did and didn't think about the copyright assignment in the license header
very much. Not doing so, and leaving copyright in the name of any potential
contributors actually makes things quite a bit simpler.

At any rate, it's certainly something I should clarify.

Thanks!
-Joe
