Private DICOM dictionary

Looking at the private dictionary for pydicom:

http://code.google.com/p/pydicom/

It says:

http://code.google.com/p/pydicom/source/browse/source/generate_dict/make_private_dict.py

...
# Generates output from a file from the MDCM project (http://code.google.com/p/mdcm),
...

The only issue is that mdcm is LGPL, while pydicom claims to be MIT... There is a clear conflict of license here.

So I filled in a bug report:

http://code.google.com/p/pydicom/issues/detail?id=61&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary%20Difficulty

I cannot believe they prefered to used the dictionary from mdcm, instead of using the easy-to-parse XML dictionary from GDCM

oh well...
