What license the pysvg uses #6

>What steps will reproduce the problem?

I can't understand what license pysvg uses.

* Google codes(http://code.google.com/p/pysvg/)
   * 2-clause BSD License

* codeboje.de: http://codeboje.de/pysvg/
   * 3-clause BSD License

* PyPi: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pysvg
   * BSD and GPL ?
   * License says BSD, but Categories says GPL ...

* Zip archive: http://pypi.python.org/packages/any/p/pysvg/pysvg-0.2.1.zip
   * No information

>What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Please unify these license notations

The license is a 2 clause BSD.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Will correct that through the different systems.

Thank you, I understand.

BTW, In debian distro, all packages are needed to describe license clearly.
So pysvg package should be include LICENSE.txt to archives.

I would also very much like to see the clarified.  From pySVG.zip, 
conf/license.txt:

Licensing Information for pySVG

pySVG uses a dual licensing model that offers you a choice of either an open 
source license or a commercial license.
The open source license permits use of pySVG in open source projects or in 
applications that are not commercially used (see definition below).
The commercial license permits closed-source distribution of an application 
based on (the original or a customized version) pySVG.

What does "commercially used" mean?
The term "commerially used" refers to
a) any redistribution for which you demand money
b) any usage of pySVG in a program for which you demand money
c) any usage of pySVG in a company

OPEN SOURCE LICENSE:
pySVG uses GPL v3.0 and later

COMMERCIAL LICENSE:

Any update? This is a blocker for inclusion in Fedora at this point.

I updated the license.txt in the source (see SVN trunk). Codeboje should 
contain the same info. In PyPi i updated the category to BSD.

Will include the license file in the next zip package.
