As we are using Python 1.5 in our commercial applications, I have a few
questions about the Python 1.5 (not 1.6/2.0) license.

I am hoping for assurance that (a) it's not legal or enforceable to claw
back priveleges previously granted to the 1.5  source code which has already
been released, and (b) any new restrictive licensing for 1.6 will in no way
affect the use of 1.5.
