[python-committers] Relicensing source code for inclusion in Python

[Antoine Pitrou]

Hello,

In http://bugs.python.org/issue17618, I proposed adding a base85
implementation to Python. Mercurial already has one (under the GPL), so
I wrote to the authors (Brendan Cully and Mads Kiilerich) and got their
informal approval for relicensing and inclusion in Python.

My question is the following: does anything formal need to be done to
validate the relicensing? If yes, what?

Thank you

Antoine.
