There are 3 License.txt file in the distribution.  IIRC, these were just
MIT-style templates and have very few restrictions on redistribution.  In
the future these are likely to be re-licensed under the PSA licence - but
the intent is that they have no more restrictions than Python itself.

I think so, but IANAL.  I believe nothing in the pywin32 licenses prevent
this and it is my intention that it be OK.  I can't comment on if it is OK
from the GPL's POV though.

I hope that helps.  The short answer is that *I* won't try and sue you! :)
