Guido van Rossum added the comment: In this case I think there is no legal issue. All you have to do is take the link from the patch and come up with a fresh patch of your own. (However I think Georg's objection against a Linux-specific link stands. You can probably find a POSIX link that would be acceptable.) ---------- nosy: +Guido.van.Rossum _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8519> _______________________________________
