On the other hand, if the distros go the way Nick has (I think) been
advocating, and have a separate 'system python for system scripts' that

Agreed.
Except for that nasty licensing issue requiring source code.

Licensing requires, in the GPL at least, that the *modified* sources be
made *available*, not that they be shipped with the product. Looking at
the Python license, and what tools already do, there is zero need to
ship the source to stay compliant.
Hmm, the annotated Open Source Definition explicitly states "The program
must include source code" -- how did I misinterpret that?
