So, in the end, am I still invited to sign & send the "wet" form or I'd better wait to let it dry?
Please send in the form -- the license was a totally separate issue that I shouldn't have brought up in the same mail (or at all, in this stage anyway -- we'll work this out with the Python consortium members first).
BTW, I'm surprised by the fact that in an Open Source world I'm asked to sign a licence agreement with CNRI or to send e-mails for contributed code. If Python or Linux had had such constraints from the start, they wouldn't have been what they are today.
Unfortunately, that's the price we have to pay. What we get is legal protection from CNRI. In general CNRI has contributed a lot to Python; probably more than you realize. In any case, signing the form and including the email paragraphs is completely voluntary -- if you don't want to do it, just let me know. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
