This might be a problem if I am trying to apply this grant for a closed 
source project but still advancing python and its related technology, as 
I've stated in the same email (question 6, if I'm not wrong). I've given 
the example of applying this grant for the development of a Python IDE 
or sort but as a closed source project. It seems that the grants 
committee has no clear wordings, which will make dealings with companies 
extremely difficult. I'm unable to convince my lawyers and management 
without concise wordings by PSF.

It seems to me as that this grant is only applicable for hobbyist.

Cheers
Maurice
