New issue 3145: PyPy and the GPL
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/3145/pypy-and-the-gpl

Tim Rojek:

Our team has a python application we distribute and are considering switching 
it to PyPy.  So far so good, everything works and its faster!  Legal is 
concerned about the use of GPL code in PyPy from the gdbm module.  Julia had 
the same problem and introduced a USE\_GPL\_LIBS build option, perhaps 
something similar with PyPy can be done?

Are gdbm.py and \_gdbm\_build.py the only GPL files in the prebuilt binary 
packages from [pypy.org](http://pypy.org)?  If that’s all, I expect we could 
just delete those files.  Build options are always good though!
