Richard Stallman has said that the 1.5.2 Python license is compatible with
the GPL.  See

    http://www.python.org/doc/Copyright.html

At last report, wrt the license CNRI proposes to put on Python 1.6 (which
has not yet been released), CNRI and RMS disagree about whether a new clause
mentioning the State of Virginia renders it incompatible with the GPL.  This
is a topic of current discussion on c.l.py, so poke your head out of your
own threads for a minute and it will bite you in the butt <wink>.
