Why start a flame war that early?  :-)

seriously, i don't think there is reason to deviate here from
the usual PSF license.  If we wanted to integrate a very cool 
tool which was GPLed i wouldn't mind too much, though.  It's 
functionality might later get rewritten by someone who 
cares enough. 

Anyway, due to time manipulations the copyright has already
been assigned to the PS
