[yt-dev] Proposed: Moving yt from GPLv3 to BSD-like license

[Sam Skillman]

Yea.

I agree that this will benefit us more than it could potentially harm us.
 As for the particular license, the IPython license seems fine to me,
though maybe we should follow the exact layout of the modified 3-clause
BSD. Doesn't really matter.
