To avoid legal issues with intellectual property rights, and to keep the possibility to change the license in future versions, we followed the concept by the `Webyog company `_ which developed MySQL.

External Licenses ================= A few parts of this framework come from external sources. Every external source should be declared separately in the corresponding files. In the following there are some examples of external sources. All external code components should be marked as such and contain their license or reference. If not, please inform the developers such they can change this. MDP --- pySPACE partially uses and changes code of the MDP framework (version 3.1). This is done in :mod:`~pySPACE.missions.nodes.base_node` (signal_node.py) and :mod:`~pySPACE.environments.chains.node_chain` (mdp flow) and :mod:`~pySPACE.missions.nodes.scikit_nodes` (scikit_nodes.py) MDP is distributed under the following BSD license:: This file is part of Modular toolkit for Data Processing (MDP).
