Guido has recently checked in a license change that makes Python GPL compatible. That was confirmed by RMS and his laywer. This change will go into the 2.0.1 and 2.1.1 maintenance releases as well as 2.2. I'm not sure if 2.0.1 will be out before the freeze. Moshe should know. I think he's on this list. Neil
