Permission to include these scripts in new tool

[marta-gil]

Hello,

I am not sure this is the place to talk about this, so my apologies if I should have contacted you through another channel.

I am working on building a python package that handles the process of generating customized regional meshes. Right now, in order to obtain the regional mesh from the global mesh, I make a call to your create_region script.

I have been thinking that I would prefer to call some of your functions more directly, and for example avoid having to create a 'points.txt' file. The workflow of the mesh generation could already pass to the constructor where I would like my boundary to be.

In order to do that, it would be very useful for me that your repository could be loaded as a package to my current conda environment (similarly to MPAS-Tools). I don't know if you want to do that.

Otherwise, I could embed/include the scripts (or some modification of them) in the repository I am working on and making them part of what I add as a package using setup.py install. Here is where my question of permissions and copyright arises. Can I do that? How should I cite your work?

Here is my repository (work in progress) https://github.com/marta-gil/vtx-mpas-meshes
