I think it's a problem. Did you read the document I wrote? "Under the same terms as C" is crazy, so why do we accept "Under the same terms as Python" when there are 3 major distributions of Python with wildly different licensing terms? And even within those distributions, the licensing is not homogeneous. "Python" is a language, not a program, and does not have a license. Alternately, "Python" is a distribution of a language and standard library, and has many licenses (with potentially conflicting terms). In neither case is "Under the same terms as Python" acceptable. These arguments apply mutatis mutandis to most languages I'm aware of. -- Joe Wreschnig <piman@debian.org>
