Hmmm.  I see.  Good explanation, thanks.  I also found:
 http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/1999/08/msg00049.html

Good old BSD license variants... Further check dropped me to:

 http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/02/msg00102.html

This was good reference.  So this license in _process.py is GPL 
incompatible as is. subprocess.py one is GPL compatible.
