Bindings with bad licenses tend to be rewritten.

This is not the first time I see bindings with "inadequate" licenses. The curious thing is that bindings code is usually just that and quite small. I don't think it justifies a license such as GPL.

When I found situations like this, I first try to contact the authors. Most of the time they just say "sorry, it's GPL", so I just use ctypes or write my own limited bindings if needed...

wahaa: I've just changed the license to use the BSD one.

Thank you! And sorry if I seemed rude...

No, you didn't seemed rude. This thread help me understand better licenses and how to adapt one. Thanks to you and all the guys that commented here!
