This ties in with my previous e-mail.  Because of its GPL license,
Mahotas would be allowed to use code from scikits.image, but not the
other way around.

That said, Luis (the author of Mahotas) has kindly contributed back
two patches to scikits.image in the past.

We can always ask Luis whether he would relicense certain portions of
his code, although I think he is well informed about the different
licenses and probably had his reasons for choosing the GPL.
