Of course, the real reason they work with pi to exactly 15 decimal places is that they're doing numerics, and therefore use a full double precision constant for pi, i.e., the number of decimal places that can be stored in a 64 bit floa

I can't fathom a reading of the GPLv2 that would support your position. It's just not in there (it is, in GPLv3).

Incidentally, if you send me a USB stick with some GPL software on it, I can demand that you give me the source code of that software. However, I can not demand that you also give me the source code for the firmware of the USB stick, ev

I disagree. If you sell me a CD with software on it, I have the software. If you sell me a car that runs a software internally, I have a car, but not the software. The car, unlike the CD, is not a container for the software. In fact, there

I would argue that the information in "requirements-to-freeze.txt" could simply be expressed in the "install_requires" list in setup.py. That is, the "general" dependencies (with only vague version information)

I've been using Fortran 90/95 extensively over the last few years, for numerical simulation of quantum systems. I think there's a lot of misconceptions about Fortran (which is partly due to Fortran 77, with its punchcard form
