[drmaa-wg] Re: Schedule::DRMAAc, and a DRMAA python module

[Rayson Ho]

Hi Tim,

A while ago, we had a discussion on the GE mailing list about
licensing the code under a less restricted license... with a GPL
library anything linking against it needs to be licensed as GPL.

I am not sure whether including the interpreter binding counts as
"linking against" the library... but if the SWIG file is licensed as
LGPL then we don't need to worry about this issue.
