[Python-Dev] "re" module and Python 1.6 (GPL incompatible) license?

[Anderson Lizardo]

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,
