So what you need is a document that more or less formalises what you already know from rummaging around. The place for such a document would be the meta-PEP section at http://python.org/peps/. If the information you seek is in none of the existing meta-PEPs, that's probably because noone has yet felt the need for such a document bad enough to make the effort and write one. Until you came along, that is. So why don't you write a new PEP (or suggest changes to an existing PEP) with the information you need? You may not have all the answers, but if you have good questions that's a pretty good start. From an earlier post: > Is there any use of tools like BlackDuck ProtexIP or the > competing Palamida product to scan for matches to code that is already > licensed elsewhere? If you have access to such tools, why don't you just scan the CPython sources yourself? And make the results available to the community, of course. - Anders -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
