[wxPython] Licensing. Grrr.

Hi,

  This is the part I don't get. I've looked over the python license at
http://www.python.org/2.0/license.html . It pretty much says do whatever you
want with it. I don't see how that could be incompatible with a GPL license.
Is there a discussion of python licensing that I could look at to get a
better grip on how python and wxPython can be used/distributed?

Thanks.
Seth.

As I understand it, from version 1.6x on, Python can't be included
with GPLd software.

According to rms, the Python license for versions 1.6 and 2.0 are
"incompatible" with the GPL.

The debian-python list discussed it for a while (www.debian.org ,
lists.debian.org might take you to the archives faster).

I would imagine that python-list and python-dev had an extensive
discussion, so check their archives.
