[Basemap] Please explicit mention copyright and license

Hello,
I'm packaging basemap for Debian, but as you know, we always have some
problems :slight_smile:

One important part of Debian packaging is the license/copyright
checks, but for basemap I can't find any explicit indication of them:

for license I have

聽聽聽聽OSI Approved

that doesn't mean anything (legally speaking): for example, is it BSD
or GPL-3 ? the difference is *huge*

and for copyright I only have the author, but not the years of
validity, except for a single 2006 reference.

Could you please mention them explicitly with the next release of basemap?

Thanks in advance,

路路路

Take a look at

https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap/blob/master/README

Does this have everything you need?

Gaah, I was overwhelmed by the third-party tools copyright/licenses I
missed the basemap ones: thanks John!
