The details are still being worked out, but I'll tell you this:  if BeOpen
had showed any sign of wanting to make the Python license materially more
restrictive, I would not have accepted the job there (GPL is fine for many
things, but Python isn't one of them).  To the contrary, the BeOpen
PythonLabs team would like to *reduce* the legal folderol that accreted
under CNRI's tenure.  However, at this precise moment in time, I'm
unemployed, so don't take this as an Official Statement from anyone -- least
of all me <wink>.

PS:  Note that the JPython license has always been stiffer than CPython's,
     and that may not be changeable.
