Hi all, I just leeched the new Python 2.1 alpha 1 release and discovered this comment on GPL-incompatibility:
[...] After Python 2.0 was released by BeOpen.com, Guido van Rossum and the other PythonLabs developers joined Digital Creations. The intention is for all intellectual property added from this point on to be owned by the Python Software Foundation (PSF), a non-profit that will be created modeled after the Apache Software Foundation. We will also attempt to get the ownership in previous versions transferred to the PSF, and straighten out the license to remove the GPL-incompatibility introduced by CNRI's Python 1.6 license. In the interim, Guido van Rossum will own all new intellectual property, and no new license is added. [...] So it seems that 2.1 will be GPL compatible :) That is also an official answer to my previous concern: Python 2.0 and 1.6 are not GPL compatible. Hrmpf. Bastian
