Apologies if this is a dupe; flaky wifi connection on my end. Python's not GPL. It is under the Python license, which allows for non-free (speech sense) uses that the GPL doesn't. It is GPL-compatible. (And, just in case, its use for anything other than Python is strongly discouraged.) <http://www.python.org/doc/faq/general.html#are-there-copyright-restrictions-on-the-use-of-python> Best, Brian vdB _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
