Except of course that MS gave Python developers several copies of its 
newest compiler specifically for the purpose of compiling the Windows 
distribution.

It would be nice to get a clear English statement from MS.  I have dealt 
with the legalese in property sales agreements, lease agreements, and 
normal software licenses, but the quoted EULA snippets are the most obscure 
by far.
