It should also be noted that swagger's LICENSE is Apache License, 2.0. Which is not GPL compatible. I don't think his is an issue for us, but the only concern is the python script we've created to generate our documentation.

Does anybody else see an issue?

    Please also include a reference to the MIT license.  Looking at the URL, it appears to have that LICENSE.
