Yes, I forgot that this package repository is hosted on python.org, and it really is a problem. I thought it was hosted by someone else.

> I don't think the fact that some software in PyPI is proprietary is a danger of Python, specifically. Proprietary libraries exist for C, too.

The problem isn't that non-free Python libraries exist, like with C, but that they are hosted and maintained on python.org. People who like Python may also think it's a good idea to install those non-free libraries. It's similar to the Debian problem - although Python doesn't install non-free software by default, they are still distributing it and in a way recommending it.

Maybe I should look more into GNU Guile. :)
