It's similar to GPL's "copyleft". I think it's no different from what we do with e.g. GNU readline, so I think it's okay. Redistributors of Python in binary form will have to beware though. I wonder if we're on thin ice with the RPMs (since we don't clarify any of this)?
The RPMs should be fine: they include neither readline, nor bsddb. Instead, those libraries must be present on the target system. Regards, Martin
