Yes, you are right, I've searched in google and I've found a problem like
this one in other package; the license has been changed in subprocess.py
distributed with python2.4, I've asked the upstream author to change this
file with the one of python2.4, now I'm waiting the answer hoping that he
agree. In the meanwhile I've uploaded to mentors a new version of the
package changing the section to non-free.
kind regards,
francesco
