You're right, past versions were released with the library code licensed under PSF-2. That license is inappropriate as described at <URL:https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonSoftwareFoundationLicenseFaq#Contributing_Code_to_Python> and this mistake was addressed a while ago. > From my point of view, the code i have, was never released under a > appropriate license. In the absence of an appropriate license, you have no permission to make and distribute a derived work from it. However, the intent is certainly to allow derived works, and the ASF-2 license allows this if you comply with its terms. The ASF-2 license had been applied in the public VCS, but no release of ‘python-daemon’ had been made since that time. Thank you for bringing that omission to my attention. I have now released version 1.6.1 to make the ASF-2 apply clearly to the library code <URL:https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-daemon/1.6.1/>. Please feel free to base your work on that, as you have done with a previous version; on condition you comply with the license terms as described in my earlier message. Thank you again! -- \ “I knew things were changing when my Fraternity Brothers threw | `\ a guy out of the house for mocking me because I'm gay.” | _o__) —postsecret.com, 2010-01-19 | Ben Finney <[email protected]>
