It doesn’t prevent them from selling proprietary versions of their own contributions, any more than any other licence does. The fact that their contribution may not be much use without the rest of that GPL’d code is entirely another matter. It was their choice to build on the work of others; they could have reinvented it from scratch themselves. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
