Licensing clarification

[petrrr]

Sorry again! Would you mind clarifying under which license this code is released?
The LICENSE file indicates CeCILL, while in setup.py I find:

'License :: OSI Approved :: GNU General Public License (GPL)',

Thanks for pointing this out. The CeCILL is the French version of GPL, and the licence I'm supposed to release under as I work in a French research lab. The two licences are pretty much equivalent, but as far as I know, CeCILL is not OSI approved.

I sent a query to our juridical department a few days ago asking for clarification on the CeCILL / GPL issue regarding another software project. I hope to receive a reply in a few days which will enable me to make a firm choice between CeCILL and GPL.

One solution might be to release under both licenses? I think this is quite usual.

Or use a small part of a GPL code in your code, so you have to licence your code as GPL too :-)

CeCILL is OSI approved, but only 2.1: http://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical
It is also GPL compatible: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#CeCILL
