No. Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2001 11:46:14 -0400 From: Guido van Rossum Subject: 2.0.1's GPL-compatibility is official! Newsgroups: comp.lang.python Richard Stallman, Eben Moglen and the FSF agree: Python 2.0.1 is compatible with the GPL. They've updated the text about the Python license on http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html, stating in particular: GPL-Compatible, Free Software Licenses [...] The License of Python 1.6a2 and earlier versions. This is a free software license and is compatible with the GNU GPL. Please note, however, that newer versions of Python are under other licenses (see below). The License of Python 2.0.1, 2.1.1, and newer versions. This is a free software license and is compatible with the GNU GPL. Please note, however, that intermediate versions of Python (1.6b1, through 2.0 and 2.1) are under a different license (see below). I would like to emphasize and clarify (again!) that Python is *not* released under the GPL, so if you think the GPL is a bad thing, you don't have to worry about Python being contaminated. The GPL compatibility is important for folks who distribute Python binaries: e.g. the new license makes it okay to release Python binaries linked with GNU readline and other GPL-covered libraries. We'll release the final release of 2.0.1 within a week; so far we've had only one bug reported in the release candidate. I expect that we won't have to wait long for 2.1.1, which will have the same GPL-compatible license as 2.0.1. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk * qrczak@knm.org.pl http://qrczak.ids.net.pl/ \__/ ^^ SYGNATURA ZASTĘPCZA QRCZAK ------------------- Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr
