My reason for using GPL license is that non-commercial projects can use it for free, while commercial projects have to pay for a license.It's a general problem for the open source movement that there are a lot of different open source licenses around, which are not always mutually compatible. I don't know what to do about it. You may want to use Matsumoto's original C code for the Mersenne twister. It has a BSD license. John Bauer wrote:

I don't understand what you mean. A multinomial variate must by definition be a vector. |
