The official answer is "Read the license", in particular, the PYTHON
SOFTWARE FOUNDATION LICENSE VERSION 2. You can access it on the online
docs or by entering 'license()' at a >>> prompt or in IDLE, Help =>
About IDLE => License. In general, the license is generous in giving
permissions, so long as one gives credit and takes responsibility for
the result.
I do not know the legal definition of 'derivative work' as used in the
license, and you did not say how much is 'some'. If you use all or most
of a module, include the the copyright notice of clause 2 and the 'brief
summary of changes' of clause 3.
If you want to reply, either subscribe to the list or use the
news.gmane.org mirror.
