Oh my, the sheer ignorance that sentence reveals.

Python and the standard library *is* licensed. I mean, good grief, when 
you start up Python's interpreter, it even says:

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Similarly any C compiler you use will also be licensed. If it's not, you 
have no right to use it! (Unless you can find a public domain compiler, 
which I doubt exists, and even if one does, I doubt it will be very good.)
