Thanks for the additional references. It should be possible to clarify the
terms to address Red Hat's (and other users') concerns while still
addressing the points Van is worried about (for example, adding a footnote
explaining the use cases that need to be covered, and being explicit that
users must respect *both* licenses).

However, this subthread is now even further off-topic for this list, so
I'll take it to python-legal-sig later today with some specific proposed
wording changes.

Cheers,
Nick.
