Cf. the JPython license, which also originated from the CNRI (Jim
Hugunin). Guido told me that they are working on a CNRI standard
license, that they are aware of some problems, and that a primary
intention is to make this Open Source compliant. I don't remember what
was the case with the Grail license, but with JPython, the unusual
part of the license seems to be that they want to track somehow the
use of their code (the license doesn't prohibit distribution or
modification). I strongely hope that this will be resolved by CNRI,
and that Grail will be released under relaxed conditions as well.

I wonder if we are the only ones reading this list. Is it possible to
see who is subscribed to the list ?
