Dear Mr. Horton:

I am investigating options for creating 2D contour plots for the freely
distributable Matplotlib package (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/).
The Matplotlib license requires all the software to be free for
noncommercial and commercial distribution.

I had the idea to try to implement marching squares for this package.  =
We
know the marching cubes algorithm is patented, but what about the 2D
marching squares?  Can my implementation be used in this freely
distributed package without obtaining a license grant?

Thanks,
Curtis
