It seems like adding this license text to the file and also to the documentation in http://docs.python.org/license.html#licenses-and-acknowledgements-for-incorporated-software would make this a non-issue. Assessment of the module's contents and whether it should be rewritten or removed seems like a separate issue. I could write up a patch if people think that this would solve the problem. ---------- nosy: +hac.man _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2716> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
