Can I ask for clarification. The charge applies to any commercial use of a derivative work based on the Python source code ? Normal applications that use Python, including bunding the standard CPython as an executable, using tools like py2exe, won't be covered. Right ? Does this cover commercial applications that embed the Python interpreter ?
