"re" module and Python 1.6 (GPL incompatible) license?

Hi, I noticed that some files of the "re" module still have the (GPL incompatible) 1.6 license notice. Is that on purpose or unintentionally forgotten? If that is on purpose, does that mean that some GPL Python code cannot use the "re" module? For reference, here are the links to these files (from trunk): http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/re.py?view=markup http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Modules/_sre.c?view=markup Additionally, the files below do not have a complete license header, or they just point to one of the files above: http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/sre_compile.py?view=markup http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/sre_constants.py?view=markup http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/sre_parse.py?view=markup http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Modules/sre.h?view=markup http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Modules/sre_constants.h?view=markup PS: if this gets fixed somehow, can the fix be backported to the Python 2.5.x releases? Let me know what needs to be done to get this fixed on next release. Thanks, -- Anderson Lizardo OpenBossa Labs - INdT Manaus - Brazil
