Guido has recently checked in a license change that makes Python
GPL compatible. That was confirmed by RMS and his laywer. This
change will go into the 2.0.1 and 2.1.1 maintenance releases as
well as 2.2. I'm not sure if 2.0.1 will be out before the
freeze. Moshe should know. I think he's on this list.
