Yes, this is true; I was deliberately omitting the case where parts of Python *are* being redistributed. How about this: Write your program in Python, distribute it without including any part of Python itself, and you can ignore the Python license. We'd love to see you distribute your work under a free software license, but the license of Python has no legal effect on your decision in that case. -- \ "Nature abhors a moron." -- Henry L.
