Re: [matplotlib-devel] [Matplotlib-users] License, freetype

From: Paul H. <pmh...@gm...> - 2017年02月17日 22:52:38
Chad,
My recollections is that matplotlib doesn't distribute the source code to
FreeType, it only uses it as a dependency. As such, MPL is in the clear
with its more permissive licensing.
