current status... Now I'm reviewing MBLAS routines. license has been changed to LGPLv3 to two clause BSD license. trying to build with mpfr. it is much more sophisticated than GMP. complex class has been reimplemented; now compatible with complex<double>, and internal version of MBLAS is buildable with "double". Why I didn't like C99 style complex? quite incompatible with C++.

Do you mean that the license has been (or will be) changed to BSD for mblas only, or has been changed for mlapack too? L.G. |

If you plan to license the software under a BSD-type license and continue using gmp in parts of the software, I suspect that you will need to remove the gmp-dependent portions of the software and distribute them in a separate package licensed under the GPL because gmp's GPL license requires that dependent works also be distributed under the same terms. Switching to mpfr, which is licensed under the LGPL, would presumably address this concern. L.G. |

Hi Lev, thanks for your comment. I never imagined that some files are under GPL...

GMP uses LGPL http://gmplib.org/ > GMP is distributed under the GNU LGPL. and MPFR is also as well. I don't think I use part of GMP in my software so I can switch to mBSD license. So no worries :-) Thanks -- Nakata Maho http://accc.riken.jp/maho/ , http://ja.openoffice.org/ Nakata Maho's PGP public keys: http://accc.riken.jp/maho/maho.pgp.txt |
