There are no lawyers here - so unfortunately, whatever responses you
get here must be ignored, and you have to make your own decision based
on the licence text.  It isn't that hard to read, and anything you need
to _infer_ must be infered by you alone (or your lawyer!)

Again, I don't want to give legal advice.  However, be aware that
distributing the DLL is not enough to make Python work - you will also
need to distribute much of the standard library.

None.
