A while back, I started a thread to discuss the license of
python-debian on the now defunct pkg-python-debian-discuss list. [1]

Back then, dann frazier, Enrico Zini, Reinhard Tartler and Stuart
Prescott all replied they were OK with a license change.
There are still quite a few copyright holders and contributors that I
need to reach out to!

I am trying to complete this now so here is my question:

If you are a copyright holder in python-debian, would you agree to a
relicensing such that it can be used as a library for projects using a
permissive, non-GPL license?

Well, from my point of view, something like:
try:
 import gpl_code as lib
except:
 import dummy_code as lib
might be enough to use a GPL python module from a non GPL licensed code, without inheriting a new license in your code, but IANAL.

C. Other contributors
=====================
- Maximiliano Curia <maxy at debian.org>

From my side, go ahead and do whatever license change needed for my contributed code. In fact, as long as I don't explicly add a license boiler plate in my contributed code I giving it to the project, and as such the project can decide what to do with it.

Happy hacking,
