Since I'm no legal expert, I'd like to collect your opinions about the Python 1.6 license (http://hdl.handle.net/1895.22/1012, see also the Python 1.6 License FAQ: http://www.python.org/1.6/license_faq.html).
There's an argument whether this license is compatible with the GPL, but that's secondary here. My only question at this point is whether the license is free according to the terms of the DFSG, i.e. if we could include Python 1.6 in main. I don't see any problems (CNRI and OSI say that the license was certified as OSI-approved as well), but perhaps there are some things I missed. The problem with GPL compatibility seems to be that the CNRI license specifically states that the license shall be interpreted by the law of some specific state. RMS says that this is a restriction that's not compatible with the GPL, but I think this is no restriction that contradicts the DFSG. Is that correct ? Gregor
