Licensing issue

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Your code in pylda.py contains a comment which says it contains code adapted 
from Numerical 
Recipes. Just a heads up: this could get you sued.  The licensing terms for 
code from NR are very 
restrictive, and the author you borrowed this from was breaking his license by 
making it publicly 
available.  http://www.nr.com/aboutNR3license.html The license only mentions 
the NR code 
itself but it grants no permission for derived works. 

I'd strongly recommend replacing it with code that is compatible with GPL. You 
can find 
reference implementation in Fortran in cephes ( http://www.netlib.org/cephes/ ) 
or in C from 
GSL ( http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/ , in particular see 
http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Gamma-Functions.html ), either 
of which 
will free you from any liability for distributing code.

I am not affiliated with NR, I just don't like to see open source projects open 
themselves up to 
trouble.
