Right. Well then it sounds like we're on the same sheet of
music, then. I guess my point is that if someone takes the
1.5.X source, by the rather liberal terms of the license,
they can take Python and produce derivative works entirely
outside of the control of C.N.R.I. They can arbitirarily
create their own releases, their own licenses, et cetera.

They don't believe their own license was valid? Say what?
Tell me it ain't so.

I wonder how DARPA will feel about such shenanigans?
